It is late Sunday night. When would you do maintenance?
Wouldn't you expect a maintenance window to say so?

On a government website? Ha!

If it isn't important enough to get a loadbalancer (or other HA solution)
and a second server so you can do maintenance without anybody noticing,
you *deserve* to have it noticed when the disk drive fails on the non-HA
server.
It is late Sunday night. When would you do maintenance?
even if one was doing maintenance, there is no reason not
to have at least 1 el-cheapo server replying that it's
under maintenance vs being suspect of other reasons of it
being down
there's gotta be more than 1 server for chp.ca.gov
- do maintenance on the other servers and test before going live
- remove the "maintenance window notification server"
magic pixie dust

I work with a lot of government agencies. All run through their IT funding long before niceties such a maintenance notifications get built. That's at the end of a never-ending task list.
-mel beckman
It might have been the "el-cheapo" server that crashed. If that's what
happened, are you going to eat your maintenance window to fix it?
Are telling me Eric Estrada won't have a loadbalancer deployed for
this super critical resource?
I find the cavalier, screw-en attitude instructive.
Does anybody know (I didn't ask "care", I can see that) what the function of the site is? What citizen or patrolman services have been lost?
Information about road conditions and accidents is one key public safety function of the site.

both eric and his buddy was distracted by the blondes on the sunny beaches
I find the cavalier, screw-en attitude instructive.
i've had the worst luck with "cavalier(?) disks" from western digital
Does anybody know (I didn't ask "care", I can see that) what the function of

traffic report is "511" on the cell phone ... usually up to date
within the past hour
i think nothing "important" ( need something now ) is lost during
their website outage ?
i wonder if they use their laptops in the car to submit/file reports
via their websites or just wait till they get into the office.
some cops are still using pencil and paper to write down reports
gov't are notoriously wasteful for their budget to get the
simplest tasks done. 10+ managers and supervisors and past
retired employees in the past 60yrs on pension need their
salary/pension while 1 new college grad actually gets the tasks done
