organizational changes.

Again fileserver crash
http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1135253171
At around 12:00 the file server containing the home directories had
again all nfsd processes in disk wait status. This forced us to
reboot. Another disk was failing with a lot of errors, we replaced it.
Currently the rebuilding of the RAID and the file system check is
running.
If everything works as expected, the server should be back online at
around 14:15.
Update: Server is back online since 13:30
