Hi,
As you probably noticed from watching the cvs and patches mailinglist
savannah is back up again (see the attached email from the savannah
admins).
We lost only 2 patches. One configure patch I did just before the disk
crash, which I have already put back. And the "InputStreamReader and
OutputStreamWriter revisited" patch from Roman, which I haven't put back
yet (Roman, let me know if you want me to put it in or whether you do
it).
Cheers,
Mark

Hi,
Savannah is up and running again after about 2 days 1/2 downtime.
The system was completely restored using the backup from Sunday night,
and a partial backup from Monday night (Boston time).
We still have concerns about the RAID hardware (3 old + 1 new SCSI
disks failed); we're going to order more parts and replace them asap.
We'll post more info on the Savannah homepage in a bit.
Thanks to everybody among the FSF Sysadmins and the Savannah Hackers
who stayed up late working on the recovery!
