The CDS backup disk server cdsfs1 crashed late last night and would not reboot today. We could not recover its boot disk, so we reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04LTS. The backup raid contents were preserved, so no need to rsync everything from /ligo and h1boot again. We are now re-installing the backup scripts and linking the tape backup system.
cdsfs1 had become very flakey lately, hopefully the rebuild will fix this.
