Update on SOF storage issue
Unfortunately the issue is still ongoing, so intermittent problems persist with accessing the CEDA Archive and group workspaces
/gws/nopow/j04/* and some other volumes. The infrastructure team is working hard with the storage vendor to try to resolve the
issue. Please refer to the CEDA Status Board to keep track of latest updates.
With apologies for any inconvenience caused,
JASMIN Team
