Dear all,

due to unforeseen technical issues the new data storage machine is still
not available for transfers from remote sites. We don't yet have a firm
date for it to become available.

Given the need to make room for next session, I suggest to start
transferring to the old machine immediately. Space will be tight, so
please try to transfer experiments in the following order, as far as is
practicable:

v447g
v560a
v255af
v565a
v515b
v515c
v558b

I'll try to manage the space so that we do not run out of disk space,
but it may be necessary to pause the transfers at some stage if we
cannot clear space in time.

regards,
Cormac.
