The scratch files server (jlabscr, /scratch) will be unavailable for approx 30 minutes while additional hardware is installed. As a result of this upgrade, central services that mount /scratch may need to be rebooted. This includes jlabl1-4, and the public Linux systems, publ1-3. Additionally, Firefox and Adobe Flash Player will be updated and Windows and Linux patches will be released. Plan on rebooting your systems as soon as is convenient once the patches have been installed. Although no outage is expected, maintenance is being done on the file servers containing the central CUE directories (J:, K:, L:, M:, /home, /group, /site, /apps). If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk, x7155.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><b><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Volunteers Needed for JAG Oktoberfest</font></b></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">JLab employees, their immediate family members and users are invited to the Jefferson Activities Group Oktoberfest, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 24, 3-6 p.m. in the field behind the SURA Residence Facility.
