Outages

[Nanook <nanook@eskimo.com>]

     The outages today around 5pm-7:30pm were caused by me.

     I attempted a software upgrade on the main file server.  Unfortunately,
it required a reboot and made changes to NFS (networked file system) that
caused the other machines not to be able to communicate without a reboot.
Owing to dependencies between machines and travel time to the co-lo facility,
that took a bit.

     I was unaware that the updates in question required a reboot, otherwise I
would not have applied them at that time.
