Dear Betzy user: The filesystem is yet again almost full. This causes substantial performance degradation.
This is how you can help:
Please have a look on your own or your project files on Betzy and delete all files that are not strictly needed.

Dear Betzy user. We will update firmware on some of the Betzy storage servers Wednesday (2022-12-14) morning between 08:00 and 10:00. Jobs should not be affected, but you might experience slow access to files a few minutes at a time.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
We are again experiencing a slowdown of the disk system (/cluster) on Saga. It can for instance take several minutes to log in.
As of now, we don’t know the reason, but we are investigating.
Several users have reported slowness and poor performance on the Saga filesystem after the recent maintenance stop. We’ve been investigating, and found a likely cause in improper tuning parameters being set.
We are working on correcting this as soon as possible. Thank you for your reports, and sorry for the inconvenience.
UPDATE Nov. 9 15:26 CET: We have identified a likely root cause of the issue, and corrected it. The performance should now be back to what it was before the scheduled maintenance. We will continue our investigations to improve the service even further.
We are going to conduct a file system check on Fram file system. This might lead to degraded performance while the scan is ongoing.
Some users may experience that their access to project directories on HPC is revoked.
This is something we are aware of and know the root cause. We are currently working on restoring access for projects that are affected.
We are sorry about the inconvenience.
One of the Betzy file system disk controllers has an issue that need to be rectified. This will cause lower performance on file system for a couple of hours today starting at 13:00
[UPDATE, 2022-05-13 08:00] The maintenance stop is over. There may still be some file system issues. Please report via regular support channels
[UPDATE, 2022-05-11 08:00] The maintenance stop has now started.
The will be a maintenance of the storage system on the Fram supercomputer. The cluster will be unavailable from the 11th of May at 08:00 until the 12th of May at 20:00.
[Update, 2022-02-24 22:30]: The maintenance is over and Fram is in production again. Thank you for your patience!
[Update, 2022-02-24 20:30]: The maintenance is taking a little longer than planned. We plan to get back into production at 22:00.
[Update, 2022-02-23 12:00]: The maintenance stop has now begun.
Fram supercomputer will be unavailable due to maintenance on the cooling system from February 23rd 12:00 until 24th 20:00
If time allows it we will also upgrade whole or parts/components of the storage system, including file system clients (compute nodes)
We are currently experiencing issues with the filesystem on Saga. The problem affects the /cluster/software area only. That is why modules are not able to load. /cluster/{home,work,project} is not affected. We are trying to fix it as quickly as possible.
