[intrepid-notify] ALCF Weekly Updates - March 31, 2011

[ALCF User Services]

***Intrepid's PVFS2 Filesystem (/intrepid-fs1) Unavailable April 4-18***
On Monday, April 4, we will be unmounting Intrepid's PVFS2 filesystem (/intrepid-fs1) to facilitate ongoing filesystem work.  We expect /intrepid-fs1 to be unavailable through the next planned maintenance day, Monday, April 18. For more information, visit: https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/File_Systems#2011_Intrepid_Storage_Changes.

***Cobalt Tips for Groups***
Users working together are often inconvenienced because the person who submitted a job is the only one who can modify or delete it. However, it is easy to grant another user permission to modify and delete your jobs using the qsub option --run_users. For example, "qsub -t 10 -n 512 --run_users smith:jones myprogram.exe" will allow both Smith and Jones access to the job. This option can be used with any jobs, including those in a reservation. For more information, visit: https://wiki.alcf.anl.gov/index.php/Queuing#Running_With_a_Group_of_Users.
