Looks like a Cameron Hall circuit breaker tripped around 7am-8am today.

The racks, powered by extension cords to the loft, were fine, but
morwong went down - but happily it seems fine and was back very
quickly. (not even a long fsck, thanks to AdvFS)

mermaid/mussel/mooneye seem to have survived the lack of NFS OK.

I've made those three use an interruptible NFS mount in the hope
that pressing ^C will allow logins if /home is down again. I noticed
that mooneye appears to mount /home and /services "nolock" - is that
appropriate?

We should really come back and test this out - what happens, in practice
if NFS and/or NIS go away? What should happen?

Nick.
