Unscheduled scratch outage on Rice and Scholar clusters

January 31, 2018  1:50pm – 6:25pm
Rice, Scholar

As of 6:24pm, the Rice and Scholar cluster has been returned to normal service. Job queues have been enabled and job scheduling has been resumed. We apologize for the disruption of service. Please report any issues to rcac-help@purdue.edu.

The scratch filesystem serving Rice and Scholar is currently unavailable.

Both currently running jobs and attempts to access files in scratch will block until the filesystem is back online.

Job scheduling on Rice and Scholar has been paused while storage engineers address the issue.
