[Clusterusers] [Fwd: [Fwd: Re: please read and forward to your students!]]

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

There is now a "students" crew, that consists of the following accounts:

maw99 anm00 edv02 phm01 bjk02 ash03 hchen bjf02 rfa03 dlenna b0hdi dcc06 
finitealgebra clustervis gisman

(Some of these are really old and haven't been used in years, but whatever)

They have a time of "always" and a new server group I made: 
Cluster1SlotPerNode, which is exactly what it sounds like: one slot per 
node on the cluster.... however, it's the OTHER slot from what the 
NotLab1SlotPerNode server group has (which is what the anim account 
spools to), so it should allow us to share the cluster pretty well.

I also tweaked the UDI's just a tad, setting the newer cluster nodes to 
"9", since they're decidedly faster than the old nodes, as Brian's nice 
render page has told us (where you can compare render times on different 
nodes side-by-side... the new nodes are about 50% faster on average, it 
seems, which rocks)
