There is a disk sitting attached to sipb-server-1, which is not
mounted. As I've noted in the past, we could use this disk either for
AFS space (since we're due to have 1GB more than we currently have
sitting on ronald-ann and rosebud2) or we could use it for the news
cutover. No one has expressed a whole lot of interest in this, so my
current plan is to put the disk on rosebud2 during tonight's outage,
figuring that:
* It's more important to avoid AFS outages than it is to
expediate the news cutover.
* It's nicer to have three disks on rosebud2 and four on
ronald-ann2 than it is to have two and five.
The disadvantages are:
* After we finish the AFS cutover (recovering rosebud's
external disk), we are short one disk for the news cutover.
We will get this disk from bloom-picayune after we finish
the rtfm cutover.
* Although it balances physical devices among the AFS servers,
it doesn't balance disk space; will will have 7GB on
rosebud2 and 4GB on ronald-ann2, vs. 6GB and 5GB. I don't
think this is terribly important.
Delni ports: probably some time today, people are going to want to
continue work on the AFS cutover, and are going to find that there
aren't any Delni ports available for making ronald-ann into
ronald-ann2. Therefore, I plan to turn sipb-server-1 into opus some
time today. I'll do my best to restore the test news service, or Matt
Power can do that if he's around and feels like it.
If you object to any of this, please speak now.
