I think today's teset will end about 9pm EDT...
For tomorrow's test, it'll get started when Luis, Henrik and Arie are
there in the office.
They are not going to start testing from 2pm EDT and sit there until
late night, I don't think. So, tomorrow's test will start around 9 or
10am EDT?
Jobs w/o accessing Star tape drives... I don't know about this... What
do you think, Doug?
I already get some very slow transfer rates... I don't know why... I'm
afraid additional
ftp/pftp on the system will slower down the transfer rate.... won't it?
Thanks...
