[vsc-alert] DATA volume 99% full
by Florian Goldenberg 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Dear VSC users, We are currently experiencing problems with our DATA storage - the reason being the fact that the volume is filled to 99% of capacity. This can cause various errors which in turn prevents jobs from finishing properly. Please check your respective DATA volumes and delete or move out data that is currently no longer needed. In case of data from no longer active users in your project, you can also ask us to delete folders. Thank you for your help and sorry for the inconvenience, VSC-Team
