Networked Filesystems

LEPP provides several network accessible fileystems to our linux and unix systems using NFS. As with all centralized services, you will occasionally see delays accessing NFS filesystems when the filesystem or the server they reside on become overloaded. Please follow these recommendations for minimizing the effect of these delays.

ACCFS (LNX113) Maintenance

Maintenance has been scheduled for accfs (also known as lnx113) starting at 10am Tuesday 6/12. Any file systems served from lnx113, including /nfs/acc/user and /nfs/acc/temp, will be unavailable during this maintenance. Please take this opportunity to minimize the effect of this outage by reconfiguring your environment as recommended above.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
