(...) OK, lets just set the record straight Mr. Tsang, and that other chick! (aka smurfette) 1. it was ~I~ who borrowed a 10 GIG spare drive from Calum to PUT all that data on. 2.

I'm not sure if this is true, but my Nortel New Product Introduction coordinator instincts would be to try this on an isolated system in the lab to verify his claim. (...)

Hi folks, Peach will be sporadically up and down these next few days due to a malfunctioning SCSI disk subsystem. A new set of SCSI disks were added from a dying server, and those new disks are causing the old disks some grief. Either way, we'll (...) (20 years ago, 26-Dec-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
