The commercial traffic on this list is minimal and usually relevant. It has been helpful to me, and probably to others too. For example, I had no idea before reading it here that there was anyone around specializing in buying and selling used NetApp gear. This could potentially save my company a lot of money. Not worth making a fuss over, IMHO. Andy

Physically moving a volume
by Matt Phelps 01 Feb '01

01 Feb '01

All, We are physically moving a disk volume from a 760 to an 840 tonight. We're resonably confident about bringing up the 840 with the moved disks on it. The volume will come up as a foreign volume (it won't need to be renamed) and we'll just need to do a "vol online" command for it. It's not a root volume. However, the book says to check "your hardware guide" for instructions on removing the disks from the 760. We can't find this anywhere. Our current plan is to remove references to the volume in the various /vol0/etc files; shut down the 760, power it and it's shelves off. Remove the disks and just power everything back on again. Is it that simple? -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps(a)cfa.harvard.edu, http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~mphelps

FW: A suggestion for the list

Agreed. You can't always lay your hands on the original email you were sent months ago. If the spams can do it, certainly legit mail lists like this one can. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Thompson [mailto:cet1@cus.cam.ac.uk] Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2001 17:06 To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Cc: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: A suggestion for the list Hmm, first I should apologise for posting the (response to the followup to the unsubscribe request) to the list... I really had not intended to. Secondly: some mailing lists have added headers or footers attached to each message giving directions on how to unsubscribe (or otherwise manage one's list entry). It doesn't totally eliminate unsubscribe messages sent to the list, of course, but it does seem to help. Could something like that be implemented for toasters? It only needs 2 or 3 lines giving a URL and/or an e-mail address.

There is an RFC for putting that information in the headers, although AFAIK, Mailman is the only list management software that supports it automagically. Of course, then the MUAs have to start supporting it, and I think only exmh does. *But* if we put it there, perhaps we'll eventually reach a critical mass. :) Darrell
