[TN-Grid] Storage problem

The University's storage system (that we heavily use) is heaving big performance issues thus everything is painfully slow. I stopped the work generator, which actually was not working because of this. No new tasks will be generated until the assimilator will be able to move the finished results to the proper place. There is nothing else to do but wait until the problem will be solved, no ETA, unfortunately.

The thread was subsequently updated:
The problems with the university's central storage system is still fundamentally unresolved, and staff keeps patching things up as trouble re-appears now and then. The university wanted to replace the system with an upgrade, was about to complete the tendering process, but then a bidder who was turned down filed a complaint, drawing it all out.
The department which runs TN-Grid looked into separating out the live BOINC data to local storage. They would want an ~8 TB flash storage array for this purpose, something which the department can't just purchase itself.
