So we decided to switch to a global collection for all users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New or updated readmes Sporadic Tasks http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/readme/193 Updating a D-PHYS3 Linux kernel http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/readme/204 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ISG News Mailinglist Go to https://webmail.phys.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/isg-news to unsubscribe or change your settings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Migration of home directories http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1137099179 On Sunday, 8. January, at 15:00 we will start moving the home directories again, this time temporarily to schibe (which also holds the group directories) until we get the new server for the home directories. This will take serveral hours, during which the [1]home directories (winhome, machome, unixhome) are limited to read only access. If everything works as expected this will be finished at around 22:00 and the home directories are accessible again. Update informations will be posted here. Read on for more important informations.
