Date: Wed, 14 Jan 1998 03:41:17 -0800 Message-ID: <8762.884778077@time.cdrom.com> From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Some of you may have noticed that mail from the FreeBSD lists was a little thin today, this being because the Quantum Empire 2100 disk that served as its drive 0 (from the very beginning days of the project!) finally decided that enough was enough and checked out for good. Funeral services will be held later on this week. This means that our upgrade from 2.1.7 to 2.2-stable went just a wee bit earlier than planned and with considerably more abruptness than we would have liked, but that's life. A tape drive is now being purchased for more full-time backup duties, in the fond tradition of locking the barn door after the horse has escaped, been run down by a truck and eaten by scavengers. :-) Anyway, the mailing list data was on freefall so we escaped with less damage than we might have, but it'll take another couple of days to get everything else working again and this message is just FYI.

Hubbard" Sender: owner-freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Should go resurrect your forward files in /var/forward - we lost /var in the crash and these files went with it. You should also check your mailboxes on that machine as a good deal of mail may have been delivered there locally while your .forward was gone. DO NOT simply make a .forward file in your home directory! It will be ignored. For various reasons having to do with NFS, these files should live in /var/forward/$USER now.
