Auric is down, because it is a only a U60. I attempted to move some drives around, and I did put them in the wrong place.
The delay in getting it fixed is, as I said, getting a response from James to move the new machine there. No reason to fix auric if I can just replace it. Stop chasing red herrings, and just get back to work. Sparc has always been and always will be a maintained architecture.
