Folks,

I plan to backup and delete the following two directories on our group disk at JLab in week, on Tuesday, April 20.

  *   /group/halld/Software/builds/Linux_RHEL6-x86_64-gcc4.9.2
  *   /group/halld/Software/builds/Linux_CentOS6-x86_64-gcc4.9.2

Both RedHat 6 (for desktops) and CentOS 6 (for the farm) have dropped out of the roster for builds of new software for many months now. I am not aware of anyone using them. This move is to free up space on the group disk.

The backups will be written to tape. After deletion from the disk, restoration is straightforward should the need arise.

If there are any objections to this plan, let me know.

  -- Mark
