Dear colleagues
As you know we have been encouraging users to use their 'scratch' disc
space for temporary files and as a workspace for intermediate analysis.
We monitor the total usage of this space daily and it is growing very
rapidly. We predict that this space will run out in a few days if we do
not act. The majority of the usage is by just a few users but, please,
if you have a large amount of data/information in scratch, can you look
at it and endeavour to delete anything that is redundant. If we do not
do this then the systems will fail.
One way of getting around these problems is to use a group space for
your project. Group scratch is not used much and is an efficient way of
sharing information without it having to be duplicated by each user,
within a group, in their own scratch space. If your project does not
have a group scratch directory then please email it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk
thanks
Gary
