The io scheduler (elevator) was also changed to 'deadline' from 'cfq'. There is hope that this will help alleviate the DAQ stalls we've been seeing under high IO loads.
I brought up all the DAQ stuff and started and stopped a few runs. Looks OK. If there is some script of yours that needs a manual restart, please do so.
There are a couple of tasks that haven't reappeared in a 'ps aux' yet. There's '.../dtalarm/checkdaq' which should be fired up by a cron script shortly.
There also used to be something called './bserver' running under a-onl.
I don't know what that is/was...
