Physics Dept. computer downtime this morning

[Bryan Dunlap]

Around 9:25 AM we suffered a failure in the department file server 
infrastructure that affected Windows computers and, to a lesser extent, 
Linux computers. The repair of this problem required an extensive 
shutdown of multiple servers, so it took a long time before everything 
was back up.

At this point, everything should be working again. Desktop computers may 
very well need to be rebooted to work correctly. If you reboot your 
computer and still have problems, please let us know via email to 
action at physics.osu.edu, calling 2-4269 or stopping by PRB 1199. Be sure 
to tell us your name and exactly which computer in what room is involved.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working to find better 
solutions so that we can improve the quality of service for department 
computing.
