[Solid_software] /work area migration

[Zhiwen Zhao]

All

The new solid work disk is ready to use since yesterday and the old disk 
became readonly
So to avoid problems, make sure your code use the symbol link 
/work/halla/solid which is pointing to new disk now.

The new disk is faster and has transparent compression which works great 
for text files to save room.
We got 1.9TB free space even though the total space remains same at 7.4TB
As always, large binary files like evio/root files are better to store 
on volatile/cache disk.
