So the Empire machine is now fully upgraded from 28 year-old HASS arrays 

(Jamaica Drives) to a 25 year-old 12H autoraid array. I VSCLOSE'd the 

last _SET on the the last HASS and powered it off.



The last RESTORE took 32 hours, disk to disk.



I don't know why that was. Someone had the thought that the original 

data was backed up on a Mirror but the restore goes to Raid/5 but thinks 

it belongs on a Mirror and slows itself down trying to figure out where 

the sectors and extents really belong.  But I'm thinking, "How do it 

know?" was it in the directory?



Anyway the old machine is now up and available again.  It does seem a 

bit faster.



Next step, I may do another reload in a month or so to split the 

Controllers/LUNs/Discs between two FW/SCSI cards on the HP.  It is 

currently on only one.
