[intrepid-notify] Intrepid maintenance extended for an indefinite period of time

[William E. Allcock]

On Friday, we began getting GPFS errors that suggested we may need to take GPFS offline and do another repair similar to what happened last December.  We suspect this is due to the recent power outage and an abnormal shutdown of the file system.  IBM has since confirmed the need for repair and we have begun the first step of that process.  The process is taking longer than initially estimated.  At this time, we do not have a good estimate for how long the entire process will take, but we are certain it will run past 07:30 local tomorrow morning, which is the scheduled end date of the maintenance.  We are extending the maintenance on Intrepid until further notice.  As we get more information, we will keep you updated.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience,

The ALCF Support Team
