You can archive your files on the Oklahoma PetaStore and download them to /scratch when you need them. Where can I put my files?Д®veryone has files that they need to retain for longer than 2 weeks. This is far better than ad-hoc and irregularly scheduled deletions that are often performed with little notice because the scratch storage has reached critical levels.

Our experience has shown that a predictable and recurring scheduled autodelete policy on scratch allows our users to better prepare for their file deletions. That made it extremely difficult for anyone to get any work done - either they couldn't write files at all, or writing files was very slow.

NO OTHER Schooner filesystem is subject to automatic file deletion - only /scratch.Д«efore we had an automatic deletion policy in place, our /scratch filesystems were typically between 95% and 100% full.

What is the Schooner scratch autodelete policy? How can I access the scratch folder on Schooner?ДЄfter logging into Schooner, you can go to your scratch folder by using the following command: cd /scratch/username (replace username with the username you used to log into Schooner). Please see the Schooner scratch autodelete policy for more information.

While OSCER currently does not enforce quotas on /scratch, we do have a two week deletion policy. We strongly recommend users to treat scratch as a temporary storage. If you're not done, you can leave them there to be used again. If you're really done with them, you should consider deleting them from /scratch as well, so that others can use the space. Once all the processing is done, they can be copied to elsewhere. Your /scratch folder is meant to be a space for temporary files, even large ones, and is ideal for jobs that do a lot of file accesses (reading, writing, etc.) and/or consume a lot of disk space.В You can modify your programs so that the first step is to copy the files to /scratch before processing them.
