The work is now complete ahead of schedule. Thanks for your patience.

Diagnostic information has been collected and sent to our support provider, IBM, for analysis and further instruction. The instruction for further action will require at least 1 further, short offline period of the service to repair the small issues identified and collected by this morning's work. We will post advance notice of this as soon as we have the response from IBM.

Underway

The work is underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Scheduled

We're doing some routine maintenance to the -smb.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk file system, during which time the service will be unavailable.

This maintenance protects the ongoing data integrity of the files stored in the service and enables us to continue to provide increased capacity to respond to normal data volume growth.

While we don't expect any issues, sometimes unexpected things happen. We'll update this post with progress.
