A user was complaining over zephyr instance "help" about not being
able to use "freeze". It turned out he was on a machine with the
NFS SIPB locker attached.
From the SIPB meeting minutes of April 4, 1991:
*************************
...
In attendance were
Voting members: ... bjaspan(Dopey)
...
Computer Services:
We have not been keeping the NFS sipb locker up to
date. Dopey suggests that we eliminate it since we're not
maintaining it. General agreement seems to be that we get rid of it
and use the space for something else. Dopey will deal.
*************************
So, Dopey :-), what's the deal?
And when we said "use the space for something else," did we mean,
"Give the space back to Athena," or, "Horde the space even though we
don't have any use for it right now because Athena won't give us more
if we ask." I hope it was the former, because it seems to me that
Athena would be more willing to consider requests for more disk space
from us in the future if we say to them, "Hey, we can't really use
this 90 meg locker right now, so why don't you just take it back and
use it for something else. We'll ask you for more space if we need
it."
