  1. investigating Mar 22, 2024, 07:36 PM UTC

    Farm's login node is suffering and responding extremely slowly. Investigations are under way.

  2. identified Mar 22, 2024, 07:51 PM UTC

    nas-6-0 is having disk issues, which is causing IO to jam on the head node. Admins are investigating.

  3. identified Mar 22, 2024, 08:03 PM UTC

    We are continuing to work on a fix for this issue.

  4. monitoring Mar 22, 2024, 09:55 PM UTC

    One disk on nas-6-0 was misbehaving badly enough to completely ruin I/O. We removed the drive, but that was not enough to fully restore functionality. nas-6-0 has been rebooted and is being monitored.

  5. monitoring Mar 22, 2024, 10:23 PM UTC

    Fallout from the nas-6-0 issue is causing a problem on the head node of a type that the sysadmins have never seen. A reboot of the head node will be happening shortly.
