snowpatch.westgrid.ca will be unavailable on Mar 8, 2010.

Snowpatch will be completely reinstalled: the operating system will be upgraded to Scientific Linux 5.3 and all applications will be recompiled.

All running jobs will be terminated. All applications that users have compiled themselves on snowpatch must most likely be recompiled after snowpatch comes back into production. Please, contact support@westgrid.ca, if you require help with recompiling your software.

We expect that Snowpatch will be available again on Mar 9.
