L68K: Is this dead now?
Bernd Harries
Hi Folks,
No mail today, does this mean Saarbruecken is completely dead now?

Hmpf, On Wednesday the usually do some network stuff. (The annual power
failure that hit the meeting took place last Wednesday at Saarbruecken.)
They did three things: changing the sendmail version, changing the mail
hnadling machine, and chaning the list processor.
All in all, it looks like there are too strong spamming-filters
installed, which don´t allow relaying for lists.linux-m68k.org.
Perhaps the person in charge reads this, too. (Hint: cc:-line)
Maybe the list will work again before the weekend.

Power cut or just reconfiguration?
I still can't figure out why some people still believe it's a good
idea to switch off computers once per year .....

This time it was a power cut instead of reconfiguration. The user effect
in both cases is similiar: no network. But that is stuff of the computing
center, not for the people maintaining our listserver.

Well, my suspicion is that they clean up the transformators. And some
people refuse to get closer than 1m to a 15KV transformator while powered
on. I only wonder how the vacuum cleaners work without power...

Any idea what a power cut tend to do when you got 12TB+ of SCSI disk
spinning?

We've only had 3-4 cuts since they said they would solve the problems
once and for all earlier this year ..... ;-(

Well, usually 12TB of disks spin down and ~9TB of disks spin up again.
At the Max-Planck-Institute where I did my diploma thesis, they made a
backup the day before, and bought some piles of spare disks to replace
the failing ones. All in all about 1000DM only hardware cost. Not to
count hours for finding the bad disk in the rack...
You simply don´t cut power when you have a running system. Don´t give
Murphy a unnecessary chance.

Thanks for the explanation, and of course the fix. We'll see how it works out.
Test, test ...

Folks,
I'm the one "in charge" (which doesn't necessarily involve payment of
any kind) of 134.96.82.13, a quite old piece of junk (an old Sparc-2).
We are currently migrating all services (including mail) to another
host, an Ultrasparc-II. During this process, port 25 of 134.96.82.13
has been redirected to 134.96.54.54, which doesn't know it is also
called lists.linux-m68k.org. Well, it does now. Please tell me if
there are still problems with the list.
Whoever is hostm...@linux-m68k.org, please change
lists.linux-m68k.org to 134.96.54.54.
Sorry for any trouble I might have caused; be assured that it isn't
trivial to close Pandorra's box. :-/

If I may abuse your patience one more time: I've tried to unsubscribe/
resubscribe etc. (not for fun, but because our lab finally gets rid of the old
VMS installation I've used for mail). Neither majo...@phil.uni-sb.de nor
majo...@lists.linux-m68k.org work (and the linux-m68k-owner is broken too).
134.96.54.54 resolves to pf4.phil.uni-sb.de, but no majordomo there. What
address should be used for subscribing etc. ???
I'll try to fake my old e-mail address for the time being for linux-m68k
purpose, and set reply-to to the new address. The account here will shut down
late October, that leaves some time for me to sort things out.

It is runnung slist now. Try linux-m68...@lists.linux-m68k.org and
put some 'help' in the subject and the body.

Use linux-m68k-request. I'm not sure it worked for me :-)
