Link to original posting ORIGINAL:
The Bell cluster began experiencing issues with its scratch filesystem around 12:55pm EST. File access operations (e.g. ls) may appear hanging. Logins to the Open OnDemand gateway ( gateway.bell.rcac.purdue.edu) may appear sluggish or hanging as well.
Engineers are currently diagnosing the issue and are working with the storage vendor to identify a fix. Job scheduling has been paused while this issue is being addressed.
We will provide an update by 6pm.
