[aether-announce] BeeGFS system backup running

[Marius Dan]

Dear Aether Users,

Two SSDs storing the BeeGFS metadata files have failed on the storage servers and we urgently need to run an up-to-date backup of the metadata files. The backup is currently running on all three BeeGFS servers and it could impact your simulations if you are doing intensive I/O. The backup process will take about on hour to finish and it should finish before 13:00. 

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Best wishes,

Marius
