Hell has nothing to do with grind, yet ;-) The grind machine is being
replaced. The replacement (liquefy) has no room (physical mounting bay)
for the apple2 drive. The apple2 drive is being moved to a different
machine (ground) which has a mounting bay, and is more compatible with
the grind machine. The apple2 drive needed to be reformatted for a
differnet block-size (or something?), so the files were copied to another
drive and mounted read-only so they wouldn't change during the file
copy and restore. There will be one more outage when the file subsytem is
renamed (but I don't know what that means access-wise).
If grind, isn't working. Try ground.isca.uiowa.edu. I was able to
save, mv, cp, and rm files today on ground, so I assume it is working.
I did a telnet session OK, but didn't try anonymous ftp. (I did do
ftp to my account, so ftp is working, but I didn't try the file subsystem.)
Clear as mud, but that is what the heck is up with grind lately.
I did put NinjaForce's Anime util on ground.isca, even though the
archive is so 'stupidly organized' that Jesse Blue didn't want it there. :-)
It will be deleted if he requests it though.
