[CSC] Loss of data on /scratch

Hello everyone, The /scratch array failed (likely due to a failed drive) at some point during the past weekend. The Systems Committee attempted to recover the data on /scratch but was unsuccessful. We have created a new /scratch on different (larger) drives, and /scratch is now available again. This failure required us to reboot corn-syrup at 9pm on August 28th. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the loss of data on /scratch and the reboot of corn-syrup. Thanks, CSC Systems Committee
