File Server Maintenance, Saturday 10/1.

We’ve scheduled this Saturday, 10/1 from 9AM onward (all day) to finally migrate the rest of our unix homes off the aging file server onto our new one. To do this, we need to take the home filesystem offline. This will not affect e-mail, web, or other services beyond the MCS linux computing infrastructure (https://wiki.mcs.anl.gov/IT/index.php/Linux). During this period, you will not be able to login to any MCS workstations or compute servers, including login.mcs.anl.gov. After the migration is complete, all linux workstations and compute servers that use this home directory server will be rebooted.
If this poses an inconvenience to you that would require us to reschedule this, please let us know now. I will make another announcement on Thursday unless we reschedule due to your requests or issues we encounter in the prep for this.
Thanks!
