• Finished implementing and testing changes to destreak stage cleanup and updated. Integrated into working system.
• Wrote a program to recover the destreak statistics into the database.
• Spent some time debugging damaged home directory problem. Gavin ran raid verification and the problem has not yet reoccurred.
• Debugged and fixed some postage stamp server bugs caused by the destreak re-work.
• gathered some data for the outreach program and copied it to ipp022. (should have scripted this better the first time.)
• processing czar one day.
• Fixed some more update dependency checking failures. Add some modes to magicdstool to list outputs of runs.
• Debugged a distribution failure. It turns out the system has been repeatedly trying to post a fileset from data from July that was lost on ipp020. If the fault isn't on czartool we don't see it.
• Extracted code from automate_stacks to create a script to queue unmagicked OSS diffs.
• Studied the publish system and configured it to handle queueing unmagicked OSS diffs.
• Fixed some cluster problems that happened over the weekend.
