After having resolved contractual maintenance issues, the next attempt to migrate the NSF01 storage from the older storage array to the newer (supported) array has been tentatively scheduled. [More »]

As of 2009-07-16, 14:21, /temporary/saswork1 is back online as a 2.9 terabyte filesystem and is available for regular use.
Maintenance of /temporary/saswork1 will continue today. Census IT are still
working to fully diagnose the problem. Work will continue this afternoon starting around 1pm.
… to repair /temporary/saswork1. Scheduled for 7PM. “During this maintenance window, the server will be available;” but the directory will obviously be offline.
Update: did not happen.
“Requires further research”… we’ll keep you posted.
CSvD will complete work on restoring /temporary/saswork1 after last week’s disk failure. The filesystem will be unavailable for most of the day and should be back up and fully functional later this afternoon or by tomorrow morning. Successful completion will be notified to the NSF01 user mailing list.
We have requested a reboot of NSF01 to attempt to resolve some I/O-related performance issues. The reboot should take place by the end of the day today, but may be delayed until Monday. There are currently no active jobs, so it should be minimally disruptive.
