The printer is complaining about its color cartridge, and I couldn't get it
to print last night.

When testing the krypton heater script, a member of our software team 
accidentally killed several aster processes about 20:10Z.  ASTER was rebooted
here about 21:30Z and the adams rebooted about 30min later.

31: Base, Site base, Thu 21-Nov-2002 13:57:57 MST, Swapping USB data disks
We have two 120Gb Maxtor USB disks, labled USB#1 and USB#2 that we
alternate on the base system. They provide a backup copy of the high 
rate data and a way to to shuttle the data back to Boulder.

Here is how to swap the USB disks on aster.  You do not need
to reboot to do this.


0. Check that the red light on the front of the disk is not lit. 
   For a minute or two at about 10:15 am and 6:15 pm MST, files 
   are copied to it, so you may have to wait a bit.

1. From the aster account (does not have to be root), enter umount
   command in a shell window:

   umount /mnt/usbhd

   If the disk is in use, you will get an error to that effect. Wait
   a minute, then try again.

2. Wait until red light on front of drive stops flashing.

3. Unplug silver USB cable from back of drive

4. Unplug power from drive.
 
5. Plug power into second drive. Wait 5 seconds or so for it to spin up.

6. Plug USB cable into second drive.

7. Enter mount command:   
   mount /mnt/usbhd

You're done.


On Nov 21, the drive labeled USB#2 is in use and USB#1 was taken back
to Boulder.
