+* {{bug|660264}} - Tp4 regression due to D3D9-accelerated layers - we're still working through the issues here, but we believe that this doesn't actually affect users. Please see that bug for more discussion.

+** Can try using http://tbpl.allizom.org/?usebuildbot=1 as an alternative
+** IT is currently shuffling storage around to try and get us on faster spindles
+** Other options we're looking at:
+*** delete data from old builds (especially try builds) - reduces volume to migrate
+*** cut some trees and setup separate tinderbox instance for some branches on separate dedicated RelEng machines
+*** stop sending emails for certain branches - disruptive to developers. try ?
+*** extended downtime to speed up the migration of data
+*** wait for webdev/IT to get new TBPL to be deployed (will take a long time!)

+**** mongodb deployment worries
+**** more time to revisit after today(tuesday) releases - bunch of work blocking ship FF6.0.
