Or is this an unexpected > condition? Here is the email we just sent out to relevant email lists that we maintain on behalf of the community: Users of services hosted on motherlode.ucar.edu: Last night, April 4, shortly before 8 pm MDT, motherlode.ucar.edu hung. The machine was rebooted and the root, swap, and home raids that were damaged have been recreated, but the machine is exhibiting a persistent loading problem that is preventing it from being returned to service. Since an ETA for return to service is not known at this point, users are advised to use the services that motherlode provides (e.g., TDS via thredds.ucar.edu, ADDE via adde.ucar.edu, etc.) on other motherlode class machines: atm.ucar.edu idd.ssec.wisc.edu lead.unidata.ucar.edu weather.rsmas.miami.edu We will update relevant email lists as soon as we have an estimate of when motherlode can be return to service. We apologize for the iconvenience that this outage may be causing.
