[Kelvin-users] [Lonsdale-users] gscratch issues on the clusters

[Igor Popov]

Just for your information I was stupid to work exclusively on gscratch
without making backups and now last 8 months of my work is all lost. All I
can do is accept your apology and confess my stupidity. 8 months is too
much! If there is still a minor chance for recovery of my data it would be
a huge time saver!
