The Halstead cluster began experiencing issues with its scratch filesystem mount around 4:30pm EST. Users may see "Stale file handle" messages or be unable to navigate to their scratch directories. Engineers are currently diagnosing the issue and are working to identify a fix. Job scheduling has been paused while this issue is being addressed.
We will provide an update by 9pm tonight.
