oh, I thought you just couldn't submit new jobs anymore.
But apparently the entire cluster went down again.

It's indeed quite strange how unstable the entire cluster often is.

This is the second fucking time that the cluster just goes down and
kills jobs that have been running for a week or longer. With only 7 days
to go untill my paper submission deadline, it's impossible to run the
analyses again on time.

What bothers me is how lightly they deal with it, they don't even tell
you that running jobs stopped, or why the fuck it happened again.
Shouldn't they at least try to garantee uptime? Backup systems? It's the
bloody cluster ffs, not a playground.

I know I should swear less, but this really pisses me off.
