Emergency maintenance
by Paul Elliott 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Dear users, Following on from our recent system upgrades we have experienced some instability on one of our file servers that provides group and scratch group spaces. We believe we have tracked this down to a rapid growth in storage by a number of groups resulting in disk space running low. To remedy this we started emergency maintenance to upgrade the filesystem technology of these group spaces last night that will then allow us to increase the amount of capacity available. Unfortunately this process is still running this morning and is likely to continue throughout the morning. As a result there is currently no access to scratch group spaces. Group spaces are available. To speed up the upgrade of these file systems the cluster is currently disabled, queued jobs will run once the upgrades complete. To minimise the chance of this problem repeating itself in the future we will also be upgrading all the remaining (non-group) filesystems this evening (Thursday 1 Oct) between 7pm and 9am the following morning. All YNiC systems will be unavailable during this time. We apologise for the inconvenience this will cause and for the stability issues over the past few days. Best wishes, Paul. -- Paul Elliott, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Fwd: Induction at the Imaging Centre
by Gary Green 29 Sep '15

29 Sep '15

Dear all, As of 1st October this year, YNiC is re-introducing an induction procedure for new centre users. This induction will cover various health & safety, organisational and practical issues regarding using the centre. Induction sessions will take around one hour. This induction is mandatory for all new centre users. To ensure this, fobs and IT accounts will not be issued to any new user who has not completed an induction. We have to be able to show the insurers that we have taken action to ensure that all users are aware of the issues involved in using the centre. If you have been using the centre and have not attended an induction event in the past, please do take the opportunity to attend one of the sessions. Dates and registration details can be found at: https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/information/induction For taught courses (MSc / MPsych), we run a special set of induction sessions in the Autumn term. We would encourage new PhD students to also register to attend these sessions. This year, these sessions take place on Monday 5th October. Please contact <reception(a)ynic.york.ac.uk> if you wish to attend these sessions. Gary Green

YNiC Software Upgrade Complete
by Mark Hymers 22 Sep '15

22 Sep '15

Dear all, The YNiC software upgrade has now been completed. As a reminder, the main changes are: * The default FSL version is now 5.0. Details on switching this for those wishing to continue using 4.1 are at https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/ITPages/FAQ/FSL/Versions * The default Matlab version is now 8.5 (2015a). 7.4 (2012a) is still available. * The available Psychopy version is now 1.82.02. * The default Python version is now 2.7. Nearly all python modules have been upgraded. One other smaller change: * clusterFeat now submits jobs in a way which will make them run in parallel when possible. This should speed up FSL analyses (especially higher level analyses) The remote desktop server is available immediately and YNiC Open plan will be open as usual from Wednesday morning. Any issues should be sent to it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Thanks, Mark -- Mark Hymers, York Neuroimaging Centre Please note that my email address is: mark.hymers(a)ynic.york.ac.uk Responses to messages sent to other addresses may be delayed
