Corrupted files on faculty-staff Z: drive

We are investigating corrupted files on the faculty-staff Z: drive.

UPDATE: The faculty-staff Z: drive has been taken off-line because thousands of files on it are corrupted. We have no ETA on when it will again be available. Likely not until early Thursday morning (but that is purely speculative). JRutt 10/09 15:45

UPDATE: With the Z: drive off-line there will be extended login times for both students and employees, but only the EMPLOYEES Z: drive is off-line. JRutt 10/09 16:00

UPDATE: At about 18:05 all files from the overnight backup of Oct 8-9 on the Z: drive were restored and the files became available about 18:15. An email will be sent to the campus describing for users the impact of this incident and our recovery from it. JRutt 10/09 18:20
