Here is where we currently stand with Aphrodite:
- it has been in service since last night around 7:30pm, but
/u3 and /u4 were not available to users
- at around 7:30pm last night, we did incremental dumps of
the /u3 and /u4 partitions (onto the /backup partition on
aphro); we had previously verified that the full dump tape
of /u4 and /u3 written on Fri night was readable
[So, we knew that we could restore from tape if we had to,
with essentially no loss of data]
- at around 8pm, we started dumping from aphro:{/u3,/u4} to
hecate:{/u1,/u2}. By 9:30am, the dumps seem to be about
80% done. [There have been over 300 soft errors logged on
aphro, but it has stayed up.]
What we need to do next:
- wait until the dumps to hecate finish, then check them
using fsck, quotacheck, and possibly other testing
- make sure quotas are working on hecate:/u1 and /u2
- make massive changes in Moira to move all filsys entries
from aphro:/u3==>hecate:/u1 and aphro:/u4==>hecate:/u2
- let users know that all lockers have been moved and are
now available [with no plans to move them again at this time]
- call DEC and get aphro's disk 2 fixed [which will probably
involve loss of all data on the disk, which won't matter at
that time]
I'll send another update later.
