[monolith-users] Temporary electrical problem with Monolith

[Lennart Karlsson]

Dear Monolith users,

A little past noon today an electrician working in our house was
unlucky and dropped a thin cable where it must not be.

The Monolith servers and a third of the compute nodes went down
and with the nodes a lot of the jobs were lost.

Now Monolith is back in service again and those jobs that were
marked as restartable (most of the jobs, as this is the default
behaviour) have been automatically restarted.

There might be problems that we do not know about, like jobs
losing some of their compute nodes but not all, and you have
to look for error messages in your job results.

We at NSC are very sorry about the inconvinience.

As always, if you have any comments or questions, please contact
us at <support at nsc.liu.se>.

Best regards,
