The /scratch file system is set up to store temporary files. The /scratch file system is available from all UNIX workstations. The /scratch file system is never backed up.
Files in /scratch that haven't been modified for 30 days are automatically removed. You may ask for an extension on your scratch directory. To do so, send email to help@msi.umn.edu. Include the name of the directory and a date when the files can be removed. All files in the specified directory will not be removed until the given date. On the given date, files not modified for more than 30 days will be automatically removed.
Once again, files not modified for 30 days are automatically removed. Touching files will not affect the deletion date.
The VideoScratch file system consists of two 80 GB disks in a RAID configuration for fast temporary working space on the video editing workstation m2 (Mac G4). THIS SPACE WILL NEVER BE BACKED UP. You may leave files here that you are working on but if additional space is needed any files older than 14 days may be deleted first. Exceptionally large files or folders of files may also be deleted at any time. Please plan accordingly.
You may ask for an extension on your video directory (folder). To do so, send email to help@msi.umn.edu. Include the name of the directory and a date when the files can be removed. Files in the specified directory will not be removed until the given date.
