Hi Pete,

I'm away at (yet) another meeting so won't be able to call in again 
and I don't think there's anyone else back at RAL who'll be able to 
either. So here's a quick update on status:

No change from last update as far as I know  - should start coming 
online Oct 4th

>         o import of skims

Have all ARTF skims + some others: ~4.5TB have another ~1.5TB spare + 
~2TB for staging Tests.

Have just asked RAL Tier A users if there are more skims they want at 
RAL.

Still running same version as last week I will probably upgrade to the 
current latest on Thursday. We have not seen any problems for a while. 
I'll also post out config on Thursday or Friday. 

Yours,
Chris.
