Dear Users,

This is to inform you that $CINECA_SCRATCH area on Marconi cluster is currently more than 90% full. This may arrive to affect users' jobs and the access to that filesystem. We strongly remind all users that the SCRATCH area is conceived for just temporary storage of users' files and therefore we recommend to keep its occupancy as low as possible so as to avoid issues with users' jobs and activities.

To prevent the critical threshold to be reached, we temporarily applied a 10 TB quota on user's occupancy. Users who already exceeded such quota will not be allowed to write additional data in their $CINECA_SCRATCH. As a consequence, the jobs expected to write in such area will fail. The quota will be kept until the occupancy of the area goes below the critical threshold.

For long term storage of files and dirs, we invite you to use $WORK and/or $DRES resources that are more suitable for medium and long-term storage. For more info please consult our dedicated HPC Users' Guide. In particular here:
