[ISG News] niche PSA: disabling SMB wide links
by Christian Herzog 07 Oct '24

07 Oct '24

ISG News has posted a new item, 'niche PSA: disabling SMB wide links' This announcement will probably not affect too many users, but it might have some impact and we can't narrow down the recipient space. For some time now, our group shares on groupdata.phys.ethz.ch, when mounted via SMB, allowed so-called wide links - they point from one group share to a place outside of this share (usually to another share). For $complicated_reasons we have to disable those wide links. This will break redirection to the target share. We believe this is mainly a convenience issue, but we might not be aware of legitimate use cases. So if you find something broken after Tuesday, October 8, 2024 please get in touch so that we can find a solution. Links within a particular share will still work, but link targets have to be relative (../../papers/thesis.tex) instead of absolute (/home/sharename/documents/papers/thesis.tex). Thanks.

[ISG News] Network renovation in HPT
by Christian Herzog 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Network renovation in HPT' This one goes out to all HPT inhabitants. As you might have noticed, the HPT network infrastructure is currently being remodelled. In order to be able to take full advantage of the new uplink cables and access switches, ideally all grey patch cables (from the wall sockets to the devices) should be replaced as well (the blue ones are OK). We do realize that this is not realistic in many (lab) settings, but please swap them out for new cat6 cables whenever you can (they're available in the D-PHYS Shop). Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
