 Home directory file system are provided (via NFS or IPoIB) by the node ''sharptail'' (our file server) from a direct attached disk array. In total, 10 TB of /home disk space is accessible to the users. Node ''greentail'' makes available 33 TB of scratch space at /sanscratch via NFS.  In addition all nodes provide local scratch space at /localscratch (excludes queue tinymem). The Openlava scheduler automatically makes directories in both these scratch areas for each job (named after JOBPID). Backup services for /home are provided via disk-to-disk snapshots from node ''sharptail'' to node ''cottontail'' disk arrays.
