Summer time is project time for CS's technical staff, and this year we tackled a range of tasks, big and small, up-front and behind-the-scenes.
Our filesystem issues continued this morning, as OIT, working with Dell/EMC, was performing maintenance on the cluster.
The CS shared filesystem experienced performance issues starting at 4pm on Tuesday, Sept 6, which affected desktop systems and some services, including the CS website.
A network interruption at 10:25am today caused a filesystem outage, affecting CS services and desktop systems. Many systems were affected, and the technical staff will be restoring them throughout the day.
Beginning Thursday, August 25, the CS department SSH gateway and FastX servers will only honor SSH keys uploaded to the CS website. SSH keys stored on the CS department filesystem, in user home directories, will not permit access after that date.
Computer science department end-user systems experienced several brief interruptions this afternoon, apparently due to problems with the University's Active Directory infrastructure. Services have returned to normal.
A file services failure caused widespread outages across campus today and affected Computer Science services and workstations.
A series of system issues caused instability to most services this past weekend and part of this week. CS mail forwarding and delivery continues to be affected.
Network connectivity within the CS department and to the outside world was unstable for a period of time this afternoon.
