    Category:  System Failure

    We are investigating performance issues with the Tusker /work filesystem. There may be disruption to running jobs as we work to correct the issue. We will follow up with details when the maintenance is complete.


    We are investigating performance issues with the Tusker /work Lustre filesystem. Around 8:30am on Wednesday, performance of the Tusker /work filesystem dropped significantly.

    To correct the problem, we are restarting Lustre services. This may disrupt running processes which are reading or writing files on /work.

    We will follow up with more details when the maintenance is complete.
