ARCHER2 File copy failures

We have been alerted to a problem copying files on the ARCHER2 /work/n02/n02 file system. The problem is associated with the python shutil file copy functions and results in incomplete file copying.

The error will potentially affect all Rose/Cylc suites that use the postproc app, which stages data on ARCHER2 prior to transferring it to JASMIN.

As a matter of urgency:

  1. All suites that use postproc should be paused now.
  2. Users need to check on ARCHER2 that post-processed data is complete and not corrupted.
  3. Users need to check on JASMIN group workspace and tape that post-processed data is complete and not corrupted.

CMS will deploy a fix to postproc shortly.

If data corruption has occurred, UM suites will need to be re-run.
