Hello Discovery Users,

To ensure adequate resources for all users going into the new semester, the Research Computing team plans to continue purging the /scratch space — recall that /scratch space is a temporary space and is periodically purged. The RC team will purge all files in the /scratch space during the monthly maintenance window, which is the first Tuesday of the month. The next purge is planned for Tuesday, October 1, 2024. As a reminder, if you have any data on /scratch that you would like to retain, please move your data into persistent storage, like /work. Research Computing also provides archival storage options in the form of Disk and Tape media.

If you need to expand the amount of storage you have available in /work, please submit a Storage Space Extension Request. If you have any questions, please submit a ticket, drop by our Office Hours, or Schedule a Consultation.

Thank you,
The Research Computing Team
