 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). 48 TB of local scratch space will be made available in 6 TB chunks on the nodes in the queue ''mw256fd''.

-**Note: Everybody is welcome to store content in ''/localscratch5tb/username/'' permanently 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), and c) it's like /tmp read and write permission for all (do ''chmod go-rwx /localscratch5tb/username'' for some protection.
