<p>Dear JLab Scientific Computing and HPC Users,</p>
<p>There will be a brief interruption to the new /work
fileservers (and HPC /home, /dist) at 9am on
Tuesday, Dec 19, to add a new JBOD disk shelf for
additional storage space. During this time, file
access from scifs17enp and scifs17hpc will stall
until service is restored.</p>
<p>Also, SIngularity 2.4.2 will become available, via
the module command.</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
Sandy</p>
