tl;dr: we are about to delete a whole lot of files on PAWS. Please reach
out /quickly/ if you have unusually large storage needs in paws or if
you find important things missing.
--
Due to an increase in inappropriate and/or abusive uses, we are setting
up more aggressive scanning and clearing of the NFS storage that
underlies PAWS notebooks. This will be largely automated and will be a
fairly blunt instrument; ideally we will only erase files associated
with invalid uses but there are likely to be some false positives so I'm
hoping to get user feedback when we overstep.
In order to free up working space I'm going to need to delete some large
files right now. Going forward, files will be moved into purgatory for a
couple of weeks before deletion, so if you find important data missing
it can likely be recovered if you contact us right away. Either look for
an admin on IRC or follow up on this phab task:
