Looked like major SCSI failure. Kitty called and we went thru a bunch of diagnostics and determined that the system crashed while running due to probable disk e failure. Fixed disk d file system and rebooted with local e line commented out. Reboot was successful. Kitty and/or Bunny will follow up and probe system remotely to find and possible fix problem. Restarting observing program.

File system is probably full. Pressing "continue" only brings up the same message. **MKIV PROBLEM**: Mon Oct 18 21:20:01 GMT 1999 Bunny will be taking system down to test local e. Might be causing the filled filesystem problem.

Bunny zipped the file to provide 7797 K of space until a decision on what to do about this can be made--like downloading it to someone' downloading it to someone's persondal hard drive every week ;) Bunny remounted e drive and it looks like it is running at this time. We will run with it on-line and continue with the trouble incident if it should act up again in the near future. Restarting Obs to test xanim "failure" due to /var capacity problem.

NOT getting /var full indications unless the truncation is a result of this problem. WEATHER COMMENT: Mon Oct 18 22:12:09 GMT 1999 Shutting down, very dark clouds are moving upslope.
