Last week, on Friday, zeus HPC did experience some significant NFS (shared filesystem /home) troubles. File system was very slow and unresponsive. Hence, during the weekend there was an unplanned maintenance, system software upgrades and, hence, shutdown of all the queues. Apologies if your running jobs were terminated. All four login nodes zeus[1-4] were reinstalled, as they were also choking with some file system errors. One of the reasons for overfilling of the /tmp space on the login nodes were multiple running VNC sessions on different login nodes. Currently, VNC sessions are limited to only one login node: zeus.
At the moment all queues are up and running again. Let me know if any occasional library is still missing on login nodes.
Website http://zeus.coventry.ac.uk is back on as well. You can access login nodes via their individual login names zeus,zeus2, zeus3, zeus (alias “zeus” isn’t yet operational)
Best Regards,
Alex Pedcenko
