System down time

(1 / 1)


Gawd seems to be having a serious problem. I have changed everything including
the rubber feet on the cabinet and the problem persists. The next option
requires a reconfiguration of the disk subsystems. Since Gawd remains highly
unreliable at present, I am choosing to do this reconfig today. I expect this
procedure to take around 10 hours and I'm going to begin at 6pm.

What's this mean to you? It means Gawd, Kim, EEx$USERDISK and TE$USERDISK will
be unavailable for use from 6pm today (5/6/91) until tomorrow morning.

I don't know what is causing the problem, so this might not fix it. Since
the system has had this problem off and on for about 2 years AND it shows
up anywhere from every couple hours to once in 3 or 4 months, it may take
awhile even to find out whether its fixed or not.

Sorry if this presents a problem to anyone.
