The remaining Rocky 8 login nodes login23-3 and login23-x-1 will be upgraded to Rocky 9. These nodes will be unavailable during the upgrade process. Please use the other available login nodes in the meantime. The copy nodes are unaffected and will remain Rocky 8 nodes until further notice.

Die Störung wurde behoben./// The problem has been solved.
Due to security concerns, the previously installed file archiver "p7zip" (a fork of "7zip"), was replaced by the original program. p7zip was forked two decades ago from 7zip due to initially lacking Unix and Linux support. Unfortunately, development is lacking severly behind of the upstream code such that issues are only partially fixed if at all. Since the upstream 7zip contains also several functional and performance improvements in addition to the bug fixes, the overall performance should have improved for the users as well. The usage should not change aside of minor changes due to the development history.
Due to issues with the underlying filesystem servers for $HOME and $WORK, all batch nodes are currently unavailable and the login nodes are not usable. This may have caused running jobs to fail, and no new jobs can start during the downtime. We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience caused.
The $HOME and $WORK filesystems are back online
