Unix home directories unavailable, web pages affected too

[Bryan Dunlap]

This afternoon we suffered a serious failure on a disk storage array. 
This affected all central services, most of which were brought back 
quickly. Unfortunately, we are still working on recovering the Unix home 
directories from the storage. There is a lot of data, so the recovery 
takes a lot of time.

This affects people logging into Unix computers in the department. It 
does not affect Windows computers.
It also affects many department web pages, which are stored in the Unix 
home directory space.

Recovery is likely to take until at least 9:00 AM Monday.  This is an 
early guess. It may take much longer, as the restoration of data may not 
proceed linearly.
