Final Reminder: Longhorn File Retrieval by: Mark BrueschkePublished: January 31, 2023 The TACC Longhorn system was retired in November 2022, and all system access was disabled on Tuesday, November 29 2022.TACC staff made an administrative backup of data on Longhorn’s home and scratch filesystems on November 18 2022. Any data created after that date will not have been included in the backups. To access your data, please open a consulting ticket. These backups will only be available until February 28 2023 - please reach out for assistance as soon as possible.If you have any questions or concerns about the transition please reach out to us here:https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/tacc-consulting.

Lonestar6 Scratch Cleanup 1/10/23 by: mark brueschkePublished: January 10, 2023 Lonestar6 scratch file system usage has steadily increased over the production life of the system and has now reached thresholds for active maintenance (near 90%).We request that all users remove any unused, old, and duplicate data from their scratch directory as soon as possible. We would also like to remind users to read the policies on /scratch usage in the user guide and keep in mind that offering filesystems with no quotas will always require active clean-up. We're hoping for assistance from the Ls6 user community with that clean-up. If a significant reduction of data is not observed over the coming days, we will proceed to remove old data on behalf of users. Please also note that actively attempting to avoid the purge processes is behavior that will be monitored for, is extremely unfair on other Ls6 users, and will result in account suspension. We thank you in advance for your understanding and thank you to all users who are pro-actively managing their data usage.Please submit any questions you may have via the TACC User Portal.https://portal.tacc.utexas.edu/tacc-consulting
