 On the back end compute nodes, unless specified, the job runs inside your home directory.  That job competes with other activities inside /home.  Compute nodes have two other areas where the jobs could be submitted: /localscratch and /sanscratch.  The former is a local filesystem for each node and should be used if file locking is essential. The later is a filesystem from greentails diskarray (5 TB) served vi IPoIB (that is NFS traffic over fast interconnects switches, the performance should be much better than gigabit ethernet switches).  It is comprised of disks and spindles that are not impacted by what happens on /home.  So we're going to use that.
+In the SAS program we add the following lines
+<code>
+%let jobpid = %sysget(LSB_JOBID);
+libname here "/sanscratch/&jobpid";
+</code>
+And change this line to use local disks for storage
+<code>
+data here.one;
