Hello,
Earlier this evening I held a class session in the EAPS cluster 54-311,
during which time Sun workstation URANUS crashed, and then tried to
auto-reboot but failed. We were doing a great deal of image processing
during the class session and the original cause of the crash may have
been the filling up of /var/tmp, which we now suspect may not have been
empty before we started. The diagnostic message from the failed
auto-reboot said that /usr either didn't mount or is damaged.
