Update - Currently, Data Portal and pshell users may be experiencing unusually long wait times downloading files from banksia. This will sometimes end in errors (eg timeout or content not available) however the banksia scheduler will still eventually bring the files back online and you will be able to download when trying again a day or so after the initial attempt. We are currently investigating this with the vendor as a potential scheduler issue.

Resolved -
All OSTs in scratch are operational and we will continue to monitor the filesystem over the weekend.
The issue may have been caused by the flash pool becoming critically full.
Please remember that the scratch filesystem is a shared resource for the temporary storage of results of simulations and data processing.
Please be mindful of other researchers, and do not store unnecessary data.
