[Alex, Joe, Zach]

Problem 1:

• The wiper was defining the percentage used wrong. It used "used space" over "total space", which sounds right, but due to the fact that there is some reserved space (~5% of the total), this is not the same as [ 1 - (available space)/(total space)].
• The wiper, which uses the first method, reported 87%, while df (second method) reported 93% full. Since the wiper was set to keep 95% before, this means that it was actually using up more than all of the available space.
• Joe couldn't find an easy way to implement the second method into the wiper script, so he settled for a different one:      percentage used = used / (used + avail)
• Now the wiper reports a much closer value to df.
• We also changed the wiper setting to 90% for the time being, and observed that it worked properly

Problem 2:

• Even though daqd had been set to run as controls, ndsd had not. Therefore, when we tried to access old data from the frames, we got error #13: permission denied.
• We changed the ndsd inittab to run as controls, so that it is matched with daqd
• Everything works now
