Chris, great job on the system switch - everything seems to be
working perfectly! Thanks for all your time, and please pass on
the word to the RH IS folks as well.
Man, this new system is speedy. We went from what, two 450MHz P-IIs
to two 1GHz P-IIIs, and from 768MB of memory to 2GB of memory. I
can't wait to see how it handles the Monday morning cvs loads - I
bet it'll do far better than the old box.
Thanks for the great switchover!
Jason

Let me join in on the praising. That was one smooth
switch-over!

PS. I'm reindexing the gcc htdig, but that was kind of expected.

Will do. I had a really great guy (Matt Galgoci) helping with this. He
uncovered a couple of minor glitches in the change which would have
puzzled me later on.

You're welcome. However, it looks like there may have been some corruption
in the move. After some discussion with Alex Oliva, I think this may
have been the last revenge of the disk errors which plagued the old system.
I've found some files which have a string of null bytes in them. Oddly,
my home directory was by far the worst hit so far. Maybe the old sourceware
was taking its final revenge or something.
I'm assessing the damage now.

Do you want/need any of the data I have? I can easily set you up with
an account here at home or give you whatever other info you need.

Thanks but the original sourceware is still available and I can check things
there. AFAICT, the damage was minimal, knock on wood.
Of course, I may be panicked again tomorrow.

I just want to echo the appreciation -- I know this was a lot of work,
and I don't think the conversion could have gone much smoother. Do we
have wrinkles to iron out? Yes, but that's expected.
Thanks again Chris!
