-cb-xserve04 will sometimes lose its secondary (tinderbox) volume unexpectedly[http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1678645].  When this happens, the journal will have replayed file system changes into the original mount point, causing the volume to re-appear at a different mount point, breaking tinderbox.  If this happens, [http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2474 this Apple KB article] explains how to fix the problem and restore the original mount point.

 ====Hostname in other places====
-One additional change Mark usually makes: edit <tt>/etc/hostconfig</tt> and set <tt>HOSTNAME</tt> to the desired hostname, in the case of ''cb-xserve01'', <tt>cb-xserve01</tt>. At its default setting, <tt>-AUTOMATIC-</tt>, the system picks a hostname without necessarily doing the best job. The automatic hostname may even wind up changing across reboots. That's kind of annoying. Explicit settings are better here.  (Server 10.4.6 was supposed to fix this, but ''cb-xserve01'' regularly displays the problem and even ''cb-xserve04'' once ended up with a hostname of <tt>-cb-sxerve04-</tt> after a reboot, and ''cb-xserve04'' also once switched to <tt>cb-sxerve04.local</tt> randomly in the middle of the night!)

 Mark always saves the original files as he found them in <tt>whatever.orig</tt> files for future diffing pleasure.
