Update : 14:39 26-07-18 The issue with Fram file system is now fixed and jobs should run as normal.
We are experiencing some problems at the moment and this is most likely a file system issue. We are trying our best to bring the services back to normal, however as most of the experts are on holiday this may take longer than usual. Please check back here for updates.
The deadline for applying for allocations for period 2018.2 is 24 August 2018. The earliest project start is 1 October 2018.

A sudden high pressure in the cooling system around 13 o’clock, has taken one of the cooling units down. Starting it back affected the other unit as well.
This triggered a safety stop for some of the computing nodes, leading to premature crash for some of the running jobs.
Affected jobs has been re-queued.
Apologies for the inconvenience it has created.
