On Saturday, 12/06/2025, a brief outage occurred on the file system hosting research spaces. This outage reoccurred on Monday, 12/08/2025. To mitigate impacts to our users and their running jobs, we disabled some features on the file system at that time. Beginning Thursday, 12/11/2025, we began reenabling all file system features. Due to the work on Thursday, 12/11, periodic slowdowns and pauses on the file system have been reported. We are aware of this issue, and are actively working with our vendor to resolve these slowdowns and pauses as quickly as possible.

There will be limited coverage while MSU observes winter break from December 20, 2025 through January 5, 2026. The system will continue to run jobs and monitored for emergency issues. Tickets will be sorted by priority on January 5 when our team returns to work after the holiday break. If you have any questions, please contact us

We have have updated scheduler parameters that determine how users’ recent cluster usage affects their FairShare priority factor. Previously, memory usage was weighted higher than CPU usage and GPU usage was not considered. Now, CPU, memory, and GPU usage are all considered in the calculation of FairShare priority and weighted in proportion to the overall availability of those resources.
