Mauna Loa Solar Observatory Observer's Log ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon Oct 31 16:57:49 GMT 1994 Year: 94 Doy: 304 Observer: yasukawa WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Oct 31 16:58:05 GMT 1994 Cool, in thin cirrus, light south breeze. Temp=42F. LOW-L COMMENT: Mon Oct 31 16:59:10 GMT 1994 Low-L is crashed. Apparently crashed at 00:37:56. Classic graphic characters across the screen. I'll reload and reboot later after I get the rest of the systems started. Mon Oct 31 17:04:37 GMT 1994: Patrol Start LOW-L COMMENT: Mon Oct 31 17:14:15 GMT 1994 Removed L00125 and L00126 from drives 0 and 1 respectively. Lower # tape was in drive 0, not popped out, but screen indicates crash occurred while writing to unit 1, also not popped out. Somehow unit 0 should have ejected tape but didn't when Low-L switched over to unit 1. Loaded L00127 and L00128 into units 0 and 1 respectively after cleaning heads of both drives. Rebooting Low-L. LOW-L COMMENT: Mon Oct 31 17:37:13 GMT 1994 Low-L was starting up funny. I guess I wasn't used to the new speed in booting up, where the drives are still reloading when the program starts. I decided to reload L00126 into the drives as it was most likely blank. Yesterday's logs indicate that Unit 0 was running, crash occurred yesterday. L00126 in unit 0 and L00127 in unit 1. Rebooting again. COMMENT: Mon Oct 31 17:47:44 GMT 1994 STATUS: still in thin cirrus overcast, DPMON running, LOW-L running smoothely, data going onto L00126 in unit 0, MKIII standing by.
