Project space giving errors "No space left on device"

11/01/2016 11:52AM Update: This issue has been fixed. 

We have become aware of a problem with the Project storage space that gives errors "No space left on device". The cause is that the metadata subsystem is full. This issue might result in failures of users' jobs. 

We are working hard to fix this issue as soon as possible and really apologize for any inconveniences this may cause you. 

NFS service disruption 6/29/16

OSC experienced errors with NFS services the morning of June 29 between 08:37 and 09:12 that may have caused some jobs to fail, or other unexpected behavior.  The errors would have resulted in the failure of legacy paths to user home directories through /nfs/[01-18]. There were also mount failures of /nfs/gpfs on several nodes.
