Themis was having problems during the day Sunday May 19, then it starting
getting hard errors around 6:30pm. Richard was able to get all disks back
online at around 7:30 pm. Lots of messages were being logged, including these:

May 19 18:57:45 themis vmunix: uda0: controller error, sa=800e<ERR>
May 19 18:57:45 themis vmunix: uda0: DMA burst size set to 4

May 19 18:57:45 themis vmunix: ra0: unit 0, nspt 57, group 1, ntpc 15, rctsize 9

May 19 18:58:16 themis vmunix: uda0: hard error datagram: unit 4095: lbn 0: driv
e error (sdi command timeout) (code 11, subcode 1)
May 19 18:58:28 themis vmunix: uda0: attempt to bring ra2 on line failed: unit o
ffline (unknown drive) (code 3, subcode 0)
...

So, can we call DEC and schedule a time to replace the controller on Themis?
(I think Monday would be a bad time... course 6 theses are due Monday... but
let's try to schedule it for Tues morning)
