Outage schedule

• Glooscap is back into production with 48 nodes (192 cores) online. New nodes will be brought online in the following weeks as provisioning and testing are completed. The /globalscratch filesystem has been merged into the /home filesystem, so most users on Glooscap will now have a single quota rather than two, and /home/$USER/scratch is no longer a symbolic link to /globalscratch/$USER. If you have scripts which make explicit reference to /globalscratch/<your-user-id> as part of a path, please change them to refer to ~/scratch instead.
