Reserved Scratch

RESERVED SCRATCH SPACE

A reservation-based scratch filesystem is available for users that require
more permanent disk space than is available in their home directory. This
space is primarily intended to be used when the use of regular scratch
space together with the mass storage system would prove to be impossible.
This space also can be used as space to supplement a user's home directory
quota.

Files in this filesystem are not subject to purging. However, no backups of
the data are performed so users should take care to save their files to
permanent storage as often as necessary.

To request space on this filesystem, send mail to help@ncsa.uiuc.edu and
indicate the amount of space needed and the duration of the need using
the form provided below.  Please also indicate the reasons that standard
scratch space is insufficient for your needs.

The space may be removed and given to another user after your requested
duration has been exceeded.

If the request is approved, a subdirectory within the /cfs/project/users 
directory will be created for you in the same way as in normal scratch.
