/home, User $HOME directories, mounted from the CCR SAN. Current disk quotas are 1GB.
/scratch, Primary high-performance scratch space, located on the Fibre Channel Disk array (10-20 times faster than USCSI). About 2.4 TB total.
Accessible through PBS, which will automatically create a directory in /scratch for each new batch job (the directory name will be /scratch/$PBS_JOBID).
Inside your PBS script, you can easily access the appropriate scratch directory using the $PBSTMPDIR environmental variable.
Always use $PBSTMPDIR to access your scratch space.
These directories should be cleaned up by each user, but they will be scrubbed automatically 4 days after the batch job ends.
Do not use /scratch to store your files! As a scratch space it will be scrubbed automatically. Files that need to be stored long term should be kept elsewhere.
