Work storage /cluster/work/ partially available (10 May 2020)

This morning a storage controller crashed which affects the /cluster/work storage. Parts of the /cluster/work/ are temporarily unavailable. Our storage specialists are in close contact with the vendor and work on bringing back the storage system as fast as possible. If you have any command in your .bashrc or .bash_profile that accesses a storage volume that is temporarily unavailable, then your login might get stuck. If you encounter this problem, then please write to cluster-support@id.ethz.ch and we can comment out those commands from your .bashrc and/or .bash_profile such that you can again login to Euler.

Please note that only some users are affected by this incident, not all.

Updates

2022-05-10 13:20

The problem with the storage controller could not be fixed. It needs to be replaced. We don't know yet, how long the it will take until /cluster/work is back to normal operation (our current guess is 24 to 96 hours). After the replacement we will also run some integrity checks on the data. We will publish another update later this afternoon.
