There are been notes in several recent logs about archiver failures.
The good news is that the addition of retries in astroda v15_4 (PR6612)
means that image frame files are now always successfully making it to
sdssfiles1.  (In the snippet of last night's murmur log copied below, we
see that the archive failure is followed up by a retry and no subsequent
error messages.)
The bad news is that the current archiver reporting doesn't make this
clear.  I will look into changing the messages so that intermediate
failures are reported as warnings and only the final "tried N times and
giving up" message is classified as an error.  Does this sound like a
reasonable change to folks?
