TLDR: /data/scratch and /data/public require maintenance on 9/31 with an accompanied short period of unavailability
The Labs team is working towards more storage redundancy and stability. As part of this work, we will be shifting around storage and require a small number of maintenance windows within the coming weeks. On Wednesday 9/31, the first of these is necessary in order to migrate the 'scratch' share. This common NFS share is primarily used for adhoc and short term operations that require large amounts of temporary space. Information stored on /data/scratch should always be considered ephemeral, but we will do our best to keep everything intact. /data/public is commonly used to access our shared copy of https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ via NFS. The server that hosts /public/dumps requires an update and so this share will also be unavailable for a short time within the same maintenance period. As always, for any question or concerns find us on IRC at #wikimedia-labs. Chase Pettet (on behalf of the Labs Team)
