Update: Bell Scratch Storage Operating in Reduced Performance Mode

The issue impacting scratch storage on Bell has been mitigated and job scheduling has resumed. Scratch storage is currently functioning in a diminished state, with writes temporarily directed to HDD storage while we continue investigating the root cause. Users may experience slower-than-normal performance during this time. We will provide further updates as more information becomes available.
