Unfortunately, the EMC rep decided to show early, so by the time I got
there today, they had reprogrammed the array to use multiple IDs.  Thus, I
have no way to test any modifications against the array. However, I will
see if I can get the necessary data in case someone else wants to implement
it...

However, things work now, so that's at least a happy ending.  Tomorrow,
I'll ccd the four Symmetrix volumes and have one very nice news spool.

If anyone has ideas as to what directory trees they'd move onto an
ultrafast drive for a news server, I'm listening!
