My apologies for not responding sooner; I've been swamped.
We're concerned that the current changes won't have solved any
problems. The disk on old s/b has been replaced before; the machine
continued to log soft errors and rzdisk reported a bad block within
two days. We've also had small amounts of corruption on the external
disks. This leads me to believe that there's a problem on the system
board.
We'd much rather not switch back to the old machine, especially when
there's no reason to believe that any problems have been solved.
If it is absolutely necessary to swap machines back, then would it be
okay to move the disk and system board from the current s/b into the
old one during the swap? It takes about four hours to copy the root
partition from one disk to another, and most of us are getting tired
of it.
