IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are transferring files to /n/scratch using a tool and flag to preserve timestamps (e.g. rsync -a or -t), those files will also be subject to the deletion policy based on the original timestamp. If the preserved modification timestamp on a file is greater than 30 45 days, it will be deleted the next day, even if it had just been moved. This behavior may also occur if you are installing software on /n/scratch for personal usage for whatever reason; if there is a step inside the installation process that is simply copying files, and timestamps are preserved, your software may appear to stop functioning randomly as those files get purged prematurely. This is dangerous because the user rarely has insight as to when this occurs. Please be very judicious about handling files when moving them to or generating them on /n/scratch; as mentioned above, if you are affected by this behavior, the files are unrecoverable.

Research Computing is no longer providing the /n/scratch_gpu filesystem. Please use /n/scratch instead.
