    " .... a disk failure in the Einstein@Home project server on February 17 at 20:47:08 UTC ....., resulting in an unwritable file system. This was fixed by David Hammer within about five hours. ...." 5 hours on a Friday afternon/evening can spoil your whole weekend. That kind of response to a catastrophic failure would be good for a commercial organisation. For anything like Einstein, it's very impressive. Hat's off to David, and thanks.

      We work hard to keep the project downtime to a minimum because we know how much E@H participants dislike downtime.

      It is nice to know the effort is appreciated.
