Owl.cs.wpi.edu is the main department fileserver, providing all user files on “general access” cs machines like cs.wpi.edu and csopt4.cs.wpi.edu. Similarly it provides user files to many other machines that SERVE cs user files, like web.cs.wpi.edu, samba.cs.wpi.edu (aka csshare.cs.wpi.edu) and csutil1.cs.wpi.edu.

Owl serves files to more than just the machines llisted above though. It also stores user files from

• sequoia.wpi.edu (user files)
• davis.wpi.edu (user files)
• pjc1.cs.wpi.edu (user files for a project VM)
• ubumirror.cs.wpi.edu (package files and ISOs for the departmental Ubuntu mirror)
• cs-vm1.cs.wpi.edu (VM disk images and configs)
• cs-vm2.cs.wpi.edu (VM disk images and configs)
• eressea.wpi.edu (VM disk images and configs)
• fossilvm.cs.wpi.edu (VM disk images and configs)

Downtime on owl.cs.wpi.edu will affect all the above machines in a major negative fasion, so take care in making changes to owl. Don't add services to it unless they are necessary; don't load it with processing tasks. Pay attention if it has disk issues.
