System status

Please note: this is a manually updated message.

We will try to update this message when we have major user-visible problems on any of our systems. We also provide information via email to all users of affected systems (via the somesystemname-users@lists.nsc.liu.se mailing lists).

If something is not working, please don’t hesitate to contact us even if this message says that everything is working! Sometimes we forget to update this page when we’re busy investigating a major problem…

Times and dates are in local time (CET/CEST) unless stated otherwise.

Ongoing

• Some Berzelius project directories have incorrectly been automatically “hidden” (in the same way that happens 60 days after the project ends). The data is not lost, the directories can be found in /proj/.expired/. They will be restored to the normal location as soon as possible, but due to the weekend it might not happen until Monday June 2nd.

Future planned maintenance
