I checked the volume access counts for these first two nights of the release.

The sun4 srvd volumes with 5 RO sites all had normal levels of 
accesses, the release didn't seem to spike the daily usage 
appreciably.  The average I've seen historically is in the 3-4 
million/day/RO range.

The sun4 os RO's, and the sgi srvd RO's had reasonable access counts 
for a release happening, each with about ~1 million/day.

The sgi_65 os volumes had a suprising spike for the insight subvolume 
(2 RO's).  8.3 million total access counts since this morning, but no 
apparent change since about noon (which is simply when I started 
checking).  For comparison, the inst subvolume, which is the one I 
expected to get most of the load, has had only 1.3 million accesses 
so far today.

Was this usage of the insight volume expected?

It's hard to accurately correlate access counts to data xferred, but 
I would imagine that this was a significant part of the network load 
observed overnight.
