<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Dear users,<BR><BR>the filesystem $CINECA_SCRATCH of SP6
is suffering<BR>some instability due to a defective hardware component,<BR>which
has not yet being identified precisely.<BR>This problem can cause some component
of $CINECA_SCRATCH<BR>to go off line, so you can see, time-to-time, an I/O
error.<BR>Note that stored files are only temporary unavailable,<BR>they are not
lost, unless they are being written while the<BR>problem occurs. <BR>Next week
hardware experts will be in CINECA to analyse <BR>the problem and hopefully
solve it.<BR>Unfortunately it is not possible to fix it before Easter
break,<BR><BR>regards,<BR>cineca support <BR></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
