REQUEST FOR HUMBLE ASSISTANCE.
by MR GORIS ACHA 25 Apr '02

25 Apr '02

Sir, REQUEST FOR HUMBLE ASSISTANCE. This letter is meant to contact you following knowledge of your esteemed self to help us out of this difficult situation that my family has been engulfed in since the death of my father and the breadwinner of our family. So please, consider this as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. I am Mr. Goris Acha from Angola, the first and the only son of late Brigadier Luis Acha communicating to you from Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. I, on behalf of my family decided to solicit for your Assistance to transfer the sum of US$25.5milloin (twenty five million five hundred thousand united state dollars)inherited from my late father into your company or private bank account. Before the death of my father, he was a brigadier in charge of arms and ammunition procurement for the Angolan army. In his will, he specifically drew my attention to the sum of US$25.5million that he deposited in the safe box of a private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa. In fact he said and I quote, "My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of US$25.5 million. I deposited the box containing the fund in a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa as valuables. During the war, I was very dedicated and committed to wining the war against the rebels until when I found out that senior army officers and government functionaries were busy helping themselves with government funds and properties sending them to foreign countries. Due to this, when I and former special adviser to the president were assigned by the president (Jose EduardoSantos) to purchase arms in South Africa, we saw this as an opportunity to divert the money for our personal use and shared it, of which I got a total sum of US$25.5million. I did this in case of my absence due to death so that you Goris, your two sisters Grace and Anne and your mother wouldn't suffer. You should solicit for assistance of a reliable and sincere foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment. I deposited the box in your name and you can claim it alone with the deposit code. Your mother is with all the documents; take good care of your mother and your two sisters. Do not disappoint me! Good bye". After the burial of my father, we decided to move to South Africa where this money was deposited and withdraw it and put to use and was disappointed to learn that it is against the human Right law SECTION22 OF THE REFUGEES ACT NO 130 OF 1998 that asylum seekers in the country do not have the right to operate a bank account or operate an enterprise in the country. After much consideration, we arrived at conclusion that it will be of interest for us to contact a foreign partner to assist us transfer this money out of South Africa. From these words of my late father, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depend on this fund as such I will be grateful if you can assist us. Now what I will like you to do for us, as a foreign partner is to help us clear this fund from the Security Company using your name as the beneficiary of the fund. For your efforts, we are prepared to offer you 20% of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for expenses Incurred during the course of this transaction and the remaining 70% for the family's investment abroad which you will assist us to materialize. Please note that this transaction is risk-free and the major thing I ask from you is to assure me the safety of the money when transferred to your account. Your utmost trust, sincerity and confidentiality is highly needed in this transaction. Be kind to provide me with your private communication facilities for smooth and confidential link. Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust, confidence and good relationship is established. I shall be most grateful if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter. Should this meet your utmost consideration, please give me your earliest reply through my email address. Best regards, Mr. Goris Acha

Any Tru64 Unix (nee Digital Unix, nee nee OSF 1) V5.1A users out there?
by Matt Phelps 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

Here's one... Anyone out there have read-only exports on a filer mounted by a Tru64 Unix alpha? We've upgraded a few of our Alphas to 5.1A (from 4.0x) and now the "pwd" and "df" commands fail on the read-only exported directories. They generate an error having to do with a read-only file system. The very same directories work fine with DU 4.0x. I've opened a call with Compaq, but I was wondering if anyone else on the list has run into this. -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps(a)cfa.harvard.edu, http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/~mphelps

RE: disappearing disks
by Sam Schorr 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

Chris, I've gone back and researched this some more, and you are right on the money - all these disappearing disks have been 18 Gb ones. Contrary to my prior message, all our 36 Gb disk failures have done so in the expected manner - autosupport sent out and the disk marked as failed on the filer. Since the 18 Gb are EOL, I don't expect much effort being made to fix the firmware. The concern would be that Netapp no longer sells 18 Gb drives, you can only get them through support. I can only hope their supply does not run out before we upgrade/swap out the 18's. --sam -----Original Message----- From: Chris Blackmor [mailto:chris.blackmor@amd.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 9:47 AM To: Sam Schorr Cc: Server Team; toasters Subject: Re: disappearing disks Sam, If these are 18G drives they have a known failure problem where they just spin down.

What we see is the disk is noticed as missing, there is a message to that effect in /etc/messages, but the disk does not show as failed in sysconfig -r nor does it show in sysconfig -d. If the disk is pulled and a new disk inserted, a "failed" message appears first, then the new disk is added as a spare.

NetBackup 3.42 (NDMP) and halted session
by ilya.birman＠abnamro.com 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

We are seeing some strange behavior with NetBackup 3.42 (NDMP) ONTAP 6.2R1 ( and 6.1R1) and StorakeTek 9840 ( A and B) drive We run a benchmark backup on the 150GB volume and it took about 4 hours ( during which there was a continuos flow of data to the tape) Now that we scheduled a daily backup of the nightly.0 snap shot we are seeing some strange behavior. After backing up 30-60% of the data, NDMP session becomes Halted, no data is written to tape, and nothing is going on. It remains in this state for hours and then the backup is resumed. And the whole backup job can take 14-18 hours ( where it used to take 4hr) CPU utilization on Filer is at average of 4-8% ( OS is 6.2R1 and 6.1R1 on the other) Please help in explaining this behavior. We are seeing this on more then one files TIA Ilya --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message (including any attachments) is confidential and may be privileged.

Re: remove

Hello folks, Sorry about the spam this morning, but the good news is that we've changed the configuration of the list to disallow posting by persons who are not on the list already. This should cut the amount of garbage down quite a bit. I have chatted with the list administrator on the topic, and he agreed that we can leave the list in this state for a while and see if the S/N ratio improves.

Scripts (was RE: disappearing disks)
by Ben Rockwood 24 Apr '02

24 Apr '02

Several people have asked for my script, so I've put it on a web page. You can find it here: http://www.cuddletech.com/netapp/ Everything you need to know if on that page. Let me know if anyone has trouble with it, it should be very easy to use. Ben Rockwood -----Original Message----- From: Chris Blackmor [mailto:chris.blackmor@amd.com] Sent: Tue 4/23/2002 1:04 PM To: Ozzie Sabina Cc: Sam Schorr; Chris Blackmor; Server Team; toasters Subject: Re: disappearing disks This happens all the time. Older disks are more prone to this. I have a script that runs every Sunday and checks for errors in the messages files (any disk with more than 5 errors in a week gets manually failed) and then it checks the "fcadmin device_map" for "XXX". If that shows it flags it. Nothing special but it is something to let me know if a disk has spun down. This, for obvious reasons, doesn't work on scsi shelves (but I only have 8 of those left and I am working on removing them from service now. You could do what Sam mentioned with the disk counts too.
