<p>Folks,</p>
<p>Sandy Philpott has given us the head's up that the tape volumes
under /mss/halld/halld-scratch are about to be recycled. That
means all files will disappear with no backup, i. e., permanent
deletion, i. e., lost forever. Please see her email message
appended to the bottom of this one for more details. This is
supposed to happen in one week.<br>
</p>
<p>Note that we have always told SciComp that these tapes could be
recycled one day. They were original meant to practice tape access
as part of debugging our scripts.<br>
</p>
<p>Please let me know if this is a problem for you.Here is a listing
of the top level directories. <br>

<div>Hi Mark,<br>
</div>
<div><br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>Now that Hall D is fully into production, it's time to
reclaim the old halld-scratch volume set. We're getting ready
to transition to LTO-8 tape drives with LTO-M8 media, so we
want to squeeze the last bits out of the existing LTO-5 and
LTO-6 media we have, while steering new procurements toward
the faster (300MB/sec) and denser (9 TB per cartridge) LTO-M8
media.<br>
</div>
<div><br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>Eliminating halld-scratch returns 31 tapes and library
slots to be made available for production data storage (12
LTO-5 and 19 LTO-6 cartridges), for an additional 18 + 47 = 65
TB writable in the tape library.<br data-mce-bogus="1">

<div>This will happen in the coming week, unless you know of a
reason otherwise...<br data-mce-bogus="1">

Also, we will likely want a tape volume set other than
"halld-scratch". We are now talking about data we may actually
want to keep around. Recall that we were always planning to
recycle the tapes that reside in "halld-scratch".<br>
