God I miss real hardware!
i don't miss the stuff at all. quotacheck took 2 hours on a grand
total
of 1.5 G of disk. (assuming you didn't need to plug a terminal into
the
back of one of them and sacrifice a few cats to the compter gods.)
1) You had 1.5GB and you *needed* quotas?
2) You got the sign wrong; you sacrifice the gods to the cats.
oh, and i just remembered. the weekly backup took about 8 hrs for 1.5G
onto 9 track. we did have a VHS-tape based backup that was never
completely
trusted.
Nah, we dumped the big disk farm (three canaries and an eagle) onto
QIC 120 MB carts. On accounta that farm was hanging off the Sun
3/160. The 785 with the SI only spoke to lowly RA81s. A lot of
them, mind you.
