[ldm-users] Weather2.admin.niu.edu update

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Weather2's hard drive hung in there through the weekend, complaining about 
unreadable sectors every 30 minutes, but it hung on. Now, however, it's 
being dragged behind a car at high speed on a rope, just to see how far it 
goes before it disintegrates. Just kidding...Monday morning sarcasm in 
full mode. The new hard drive is now in; as I type this, it's being 
formatted and installation of the OS should be underway by 18Z. Full 
service on weather2 should be restored around 23Z, barring no unforseen 
circumstances. If you have weather and weather3 as backups, this is an 
informational outage notification only. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Has anyone tried dragging a hard drive down a road from a rope to see how 
long it lasts? ;-)

Gilbert
