All, I had to unexpectedly take whirlwind.aos.wisc.edu down this afternoon a few times, while trying to diagnose some bad-disk-in-a-raid errors. Whirlwind is currently back up using a degraded raid mode, awaiting replacement disks. When they arrive, it will go down for about 15 minutes to replace the drives, and then will probably be slow for a bit while the raid rebuilds. I'll try to give you some advance notice when that will happen. Sorry for the unplanned outage.
