 Previously there were two scratch areas available to your programs: /localscratch which is roughly 50 GB on each node's local hard disk and /sanscratch a shared scratch area available to all nodes.  Sanscratch allows you to monitor your jobs progress by looking in /sanscratch/jobpid. It was also much larger (1 TB).
-However, since our fantastic crash of June 2008 ([[cluster:67|The catastrophic crash of June 08]] page) /snapshot was simply a directory inside /home and thus compete for disk space.

 On greentail, /sanscratch will be a separate logical volume of 5 TB using a different disk set.  SO i urge those that have very large files to stage their files in /sanscratch when running their jobs for best performance.  The scheduler will always create (and delete!) two directories for you.  The JOBPID of your job is used to create /localscratch/jobpid and /sanscratch/jobpid.
