[LON-CAPA-admin] 32-64 bit conversion

[Todd Ruskell]

Hi all,

We're moving from 32-bit to 64-bit, and are trying to schedule an
appropriate amount of downtime.  How long can I expect the database
conversion to take?  It seems I've got about 100,000 files to convert.
 Are we talking 30 minutes?  A couple hours?  8 hours?  24 hours?  I
know it depends on the hardware, but what have others experienced?

Thanks,
Todd
