RESOLVED: As of June 10th, 8:43AM, all users except those with running jobs have been migrated. Users with running jobs will be migrated when their jobs complete. Please see the details in this post for information on moving files to new research spaces.

On Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, ICER will be moving all remaining user home directories to the new, more performant home filesystem. This primarily affects users that were using more than 100GB in their home directories as of March 28th, 2025.

If you are part of this group, you will have received an email with details on Friday, June 6th, 2025. In preparation for this move, on Monday June 9th, all affected users have had their SLURM jobs held to prevent failures during the migration.

When any remaining jobs have completed after Tuesday morning, affected users will be unable to login for a short period of time. During this time, any processes running on gateway or development nodes will stop, and any attempt to login via SSH will show a message like:

Your account has expired; please contact your system administrator account expired 20248 days ago Connection closed by server port 22

Logging in via OnDemand will also be unavailable.

The migration is anticipated to be complete by the afternoon on June 10th. If a user still has running jobs at this point, their migration will be delayed until their jobs complete. Afterwards, users will receive an email notification and can then continue using the system.

IMPORTANT: If you are moved to the new file system after June 10th and have not moved files in your old home directory to the new system, your new home directory will appear empty. You will need to move up to 100GB of files to your new home directory. Any files in excess of 100GB can be moved to research spaces as necessary.

For help with moving files, please see the instructions in our documentation.
