LHC Sixtrack News

No RESULTS accepted from Linux Kernel 4.8.*
As an emergency measure and over the weekend, I have set
max_results_day to -1 for all hosts running Linux (Ubuntu?)
Kernel 4.8.*. SixTrack is consistently crashing with an IFORT run
time formatted I/O error. This will avoid wasting your valuable
contributions. Eric.

Even though the Linux community is smaller than Windows its still a pretty good chunk of Gflops of computation lost since they all will have to migrate to other projects.
Hopefully LHC will resolve this quickly.
