    imap and POP service is now up and running.
    
    Mail is going to trickle over the next 12 hours so as not to overwhelm
    the mail server.  Expect slow response time as this is an old server.
    
    After I've made sure everything is running smoothly, I'll be working
    on recovering the old server and reinstalling.
    
    CE Fac/Staff/Students who primarily use webmail, please feel free to
    email consult@newton.berkeley.edu so I can migrate you to the the
    dedicated CE server.  It will improve response time for you and ease
    the load on the temporary maxwell server
    
    Off to rest tired eyes now.  Will continue tomorrow.

    We're at the home stretch!

    Restored are done.   Doing some testing.

    Off to un-cross my eyes and eat dinner while waiting for home1 to be restored.
    
    07/04/08 7PM
    
    /home6, /home5, /home4, /home3, /home2 has been restored.

    /home3 are current as of last backup on 7/2 22:12:50 PM

    07/04/08 5PM 
    In the midst of installing new OS on old server and restoring files.  
    After this, will need to do some testing to make sure everything runs
    and then we can turn the server back on.
    
    07/04/08 3PM
    Horray!  I've migrated one server to another server.  This will
    free up an old server we have for us to restore to.  I did not want to
    just overwrite the existing server as it's got major disk corruption but
    some email are recoverable.
    
    07/04/08 2PM
    Just waiting for some dumps to be done before we complete the setup
    of the first server.
    
    07/04/08 12PM
    Very close to finishing setting up first server.  After that, will start
    setting up the new server that we'll migrate mail to.
    
    07/04/08 8:30AM
    The new plan of attack is to move mail to a temporary server.  Restore
    from backup, and then try to restore email that were lost on the mail
    server.
    
    07/04/08 11:30PM
    Going home after being here 14 hours straight.  Will come back tomorrow
    morning to fix the problem.  Still trying to recover email from disk.
    
    07/03/08 10:00PM
    We are still trying to recover files from the disks.  In the meantime,
    CE users who have migrated to the new mail server had their queued mail 
    delivered
    
    07/03/08 4:00PM
    Backups are not going well.  It looks like the disks are really corrupted.
    We may have to do a full restore with some loss of email.  I will
    update the status when I find out.
    
    07/03/08 3:00PM
    Backup is going right now.  I estimate it will take several hours to 
    complete.  A rebuild of the OS will commence after backups are done.
    We have over 100GB to backup, so it will take awhile.
    
    07/03/08 2:00PM
    It looks like one main partition of the OS (/usr) is terribly corrupted.
    I'm attempting to first make a backup of everything before fixing the 
    problem.
    
    07/03/08 1:00PM
    We're currently running a disk check on three OS partitions.  Two have
    passed disk check and we're waiting for the last one to finish.
    
    07/03/08 9:00AM
    Due to the PPCS electrical shutdown last week, we're experiencing errors
    on our mail server and webmail server.
    
    webmail has been rebooted.  However, maxwell, our main mail server
    is still down.  There may be a disk error which may mean a long
    down time.  People who have migrated to the CE server can still check
    their email, however, no new email will be delivered till
    maxwell is back up.  Everyone else's email is down for now.  I will
    be updating this page as well as DECF homepage as progress is made.
