       AUTON SYSTEM UPDATE
  MONDAY JAN 12, 2012 18:08 EST
--------------------------------

The system is now online, which a few caveats.  It is important that you 
read this mail in it's ENTIRETY.

The primary file system on which /auton was stored went corrupt.  A 
complete restore from backups was necessary.  I have been working around 
the clock since late Saturday night to get everything restored.

There were a few gaps in backup coverages in a very small subset of 
directories, but by and large, everything is intact.

It is strongly recommended that you check all files that you have 
modified since Dec 25.  You can easily do this by counting the number of 
days from December 25th until now, and plugging that number into the 
find command like so:

find /auton/home/yourusername -mtime -15
find /auton/userdirs/yourusername -mtime -15

etc

And check these files for up-to-date-ness and consistency by loading 
them and sanity checking them.

Also, the last completed backup on /auton/project/* was on November 
30th.  If you have modified the contents of these directories since 
then, please let me know so we can formulate a plan to respond to the 
displaced files.

If you notice anything missing or improperly restored, it is vital that 
you let me know by the end of this week.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
