Status update for Kappa, Matter and Neolith: Short version: Kappa, Matter and Neolith will be unavailable until at least sometime tomorrow, but possibly longer than that if we run into more problems (several days if we are really unlucky). We still believe that only a small number (150) of files are damaged on /home. As far as we can tell, the /nobackup/global file system is not affected. Details: We are working in parallel on two options to restore the /home filesystem: Plan A: Repair the /home file system with assistance from the file system vendor. Plan B: Restore data from tape backup and/or the existing file system onto new disks. Plan A depends on assistance from the file system vendor (whose development team is located in the US, so we will probably not hear from then until later tonight). If successful it could restore the systems to normal operation tomorrow (probably not before lunch as we probably want to run some tests on the repaired file system before starting to use it). Plan B is in progress (we have been restoring files from tape and copying files from the damaged file system since yesterday evening). We estimate that this option could result in a useful /home file system tomorrow. regards, <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;">-- <div> Mats Kronberg, NSC Support <<a href="mailto:support@nsc.liu.se">support@nsc.liu.se</a>> </div>
