Re: Update on filesystem issues

August 27, 2025

Dear users,

The consistency checks on the distributed file system in the /work area are still in progress. In the meantime, we have re-enabled access to the /work area in read-only mode, so that you can access your data if needed. Please note that writing to /work is not possible until the checks are fully completed.

Tomorrow, we will proceed with the planned downtime to improve the electrical protection of the storage servers. During this maintenance window, all services - including storage, login nodes, production nodes, and virtualization - will be unavailable. The downtime is expected to last around one hour.

We will notify you of the exact time of the shutdown. After the intervention, we plan to bring the cluster back into full production.

Thank you for your patience and collaboration.

Best regards,
Lorenzo.
