Grex now has another disk on it for home directories. It's called /c just like the old /c, except its about 2.5 times bigger and will beable to hold quite a few accounts, and we *hope* that the storage problems we've been having will go away.

Thanks to all. At around 2 am when we stopped by to offer Kiwanis leftovers to grex staffers, Jan showed us around the modem collection etc. It is very hot in the pumpkin. Computers make good space heaters. I hear that the next plan is to set up a spare grex computer to do formatting etc. on rather than having to shut down grex for this.

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0h 284215 240494 15300 94% /bbs /dev/sd4a 1944365 773287 976642 44% /c /dev/sd1c 1944365 1748977 952 100% /a It's great that we got the new disc! Are we planning on migrating some things from /a to /c? And is b/bbs at 94% something to be concerned with?

It is, but we've got a plan.... The old /c partition is now free. We will probably be moving a lot of stuff around to shift things to bigger partitions. Some stuff will probably move off of /a, but the next few reaps will also help. All this means more down time will be needed. We plan to build a second machine for development work and for doing things like formatting and testing disks. Unfortunately, we'll need to format and test a disk for the new machine, and this means more down time for Grex. Sorry. We now have 5 disks and a tape drive on Grex's SCSI chain. We can't add many more drives. We'll want to install a second SCSI controller and put the drives on two different chains. We have extra controllers, but have no experience setting them up. This is another thing we want the development machine for.
