Required Reboot on 08/27 for Bug Fix

In order to resolve a problem involving Java applications and NFS version 4, we will need to reboot all of the login nodes and all of the compute nodes.  Our tentative plan is for this to occur on Friday 08/27 as there are several applications experiencing difficulties because of this bug.  A reboot is required since the bug in question resides in the Linux kernel, the core code which allows our systems to run.  Unfortunately, this system reboot will also stop any running jobs.  All jobs waiting in the queue at the time of the reboot should not be affected.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
