	Each server will generally have a local /data/scratch filesystem that you can use to store temporary files. '''BE ADVISED''' that /data/scratch is not backed up, and the data there could disappear in the event of a disk failure or anything else. Do not store important data there. If it is important, it should be moved somewhere else very soon after creation.		Each server will generally have a local /data/scratch filesystem that you can use to store temporary files.

			These filesystems are '''not shared''', and are local to each server.

	~~== Storage Quota Alerting ==~~

	If you and/or folks in your lab would like an automated alert when the '''/private/groups/labname''' quota is getting to a certain percentage of fullness, we can set that up for you and others in your lab. Just email '''cluster-admin@soe.ucsc.edu''' with the following information:

	~~1: Which directory you would like to watch quotas on (i.e. /private/groups/somelab)~~
	~~2: What % full you would like an email alert at~~
	~~3: What email addresses you want on the alert list~~

	After setup, our alerting system will alert folks on that email list ''every 4 hours'' until the quota in question is reduced to an amount under the alerting % threshold you asked for. So it is a bit noisy, but will force folks to delete data in order to stop the alerts. When the system notices that the quota usage has decreased to under the alert threshold, you will receive one final email with an "OK" notification that things are OK now.
