cbatt, the news gateway into Ohio, lost the disk /usr was on last
weekend.  It was discovered Monday morning.  A new disk was put
in on Tuesday, and Wednesday was spent reading in backups.  Today
it came up, but there is still something seriously wrong with
the machine - it flunks diagnostics on the new disk when it boots,
so it has to be booted manually.  It has also panicked a couple of
times today for no obvious reason.

As a result, it's back up, but flakey.  It could crash at any time.
We'll probably take it down for a few hours to try swapping in
parts, and it might go down again for another full restore of /usr.
So don't be surprised if it goes down again soon.

/usr/spool is on the good disk, and was not affected, so I don't
expect any lost or duplicate traffic, but with that much downtime,
anything is possible.
