Hi all,

We will do part of the maintenance that was incomplete last week on the
server that hosts /data/scratch and /data/public tomorrow. It is scheduled
for 16:30 UTC, tomorrow 9/7 - scratch and dumps will be unavailable for a
short time during the maintenance window.

I'll update the lists when we are all done.

Thanks,
