Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ3 Update - OS Release 2.0

[Duncan Laurie <duncan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The update was pulled because of reported problems with external storage,
but they weren't able to reproduce these problems in-house..  In the interim
they corrected a couple other found problems: active mointor forgetting the
state of services and a bug with NTP.  I thought it was supposed to go up 
today but it looks like it didn't make it.. Should be up again real soon now.

If anyone else had problems with external storage after installing the patch
let support know so they can pass that info along...
