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.

Deletion of data from work folder on Betzy
Due to a completely full filesystem on Betzy, we have had to resort to changing the age limit on data in the work folder on Betzy. We are now deleting all data that is older than 17 days from the work folders. This problem will persist until we have the nev NIRD up in production. Hopefully we will not have to further move the limit, but be aware that data in the work folder is not backed up, and could potentially be deleted at any point. Important data should therefore be moved to either your home directory or a project folder.
Firmware upgrade of Betzy storage servers
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.
