Hi,

According to Calvin Clark, this is an RZ55, serial number AB03302NTD.
I believe this should be called in to DEC.

Subject: charon disk hardware problem


This morning at 9:46 AM, charon crashed during the power hit.  It did
not come up.  The first time I brought it up in single user mode to fsck
it manually, fsck gave the error:

  can't open character device /dev/rz0g

(rz0g is the /srvd partition)

We managed to boot it without the external disk that holds the local /srvd
and one of the the two original swap partitions.  /srvd is pointing to
the public AFS system packs.  If someone wants to take a look at the
disk drive, fine.  It's currently shut off and disconnected.  I have
removed the rz0 lines from /etc/fstab, so if charon is rebooted again,
it should be okay.

Uerf did not show anything interesting, although charon seems to be
getting a lot of "file: table is full" errors, like this one:
