Planned Outage the week of June 8 for Scratch OS Upgrade

We have scheduled a planned outage affecting the Savio cluster during the week of June 8. DDN recommended this upgrade, and we are undertaking it partly in response to the recent outages many of you have experienced. While this upgrade is not a guaranteed remedy, we believe it is an important and necessary step toward enhancing the system's overall reliability and stability. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to improve the Savio environment.
