[Halld-offline] cache disk outage on Aug. 8 [Re: proposal: cache disk outage on Wednesday, July 24th]

[Mark Ito]

Folks,

I did not receive any feedback on the date for bringing on the new 
Lustre system. A date has been chosen: Thursday, August 8th (later than 
the original July 24th target). I am assuming that this is not a problem 
for us.
