 ===== Scratch Spaces ===== ===== Scratch Spaces =====
  
-We have different ... blah, blah, to come+We have different locations for scratch space. Some local to the nodes, some mounted across the network. Here is the current setup as of August 2019.

 +    * Warning: on nodes n46-n59 there is no hard disk but a SataDOM (usb device plugged directly into system board, 16 GB in size, holds just the OS). Do not use /localscratch on these nodes.
  
   * **/sanscratch**    * **/sanscratch** 
-    * two 5 TB file systems mounted IpoIB  using NFS+    * 55 TB file system mounted IpoIB using NFS or plain Ethernet 
 +      * greentail52 is the file server 
 +      * /sanscratch/username/ can be used for staging (this is not backed up!) 
 +      * /sanscratch/checkpoints/JOBPID is for checkpoint files (you need to create this in your job)
  
  
   * **/localscratch5tb**   * **/localscratch5tb**

 +    * The list of nodes done: n38-n45, all are done (10sep15)
  
-48 TB of local scratch space will be available in 6 TB chunks on the nodes in the queue ''mw256fd''. That yields 5TB of local scratch space per node using Raid 0 and file type ''ext4''. Everybody may use this but it has specifically been put in place for the Guassian jobs yielding massive RWF files (application scratch files).+  * **/localscratch**

 +48 TB of local scratch space will be made available in 6 TB chunks on the nodes in the queue ''mw256fd''. That yields 5TB of local scratch space per node using Raid 0 and file type ''ext4'', mounted at /localscratch5tb. Everybody may use this but it has specifically been put in place for Gaussian jobs yielding massive RWF files (application scratch files).

 +**Note: Everybody is welcome to store content in ''/localscratch5tb/username/'' for easy job access of large data files unless it interferes with jobs. However be warned that a) it's local storage, b) it's raid 0 (one disk failures and all data is lost), c) it's like /tmp read and write permission for all (do ''chmod go-rwx /localscratch5tb/username'' for some protection, and d) this file system is not backed up. In addition, ''/sanscratch/username/'' will also be allowed.**
