Had the usual outage today. No news there, and we're recovering normally at the moment.

Continuing along the hardware vs. software RAID theme, we have vast experience getting bitten by both - in the early days of SETI@home we got burned by hardware RAID, hence our current general affinity towards software. However, today Jeff and I got over the (very small) hump of learning how to query the recently donated IBM Xseries on-board RAID from within linux and decided that we're going to learn to enjoy living with a zillion different kinds of RAID, each employed based on current needs and resources.

Tomorrow we're going to attempt converting our scheduler to the new-used system "anakin" so we can then convert the current scheduler (ptolemy) into a NAS box (to ultimately replace the NAS taking up one third of our server closet). Expect funky DNS rollout issues.
