-==== Node scratch ====
-The node scratch is mounted on ''/scratch'' for each of your nodes.  There is no quota, and if you exceed the physical size of the disk you will get disk failure messages.  To check the usage of your disk use the ''df -h'' command **on the compute node**.
-For example, the command
-<code>
-   ssh n017 df -h /scratch
-</code>
-shows 197 MB used from the total filesystem size of 793 GB.
-<code>
-Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
-/dev/sda2             793G  197M  753G   1% /scratch
-</code>
-This node ''n017'' has a 1 TB disk and 64 MB memory, which requires 126 GB of swap space on the disk.
-<note warning>There is a physical disk installed on each node that is used for time critical tasks, such as swapping memory. The compute nodes are configured with either 1 TB disk or 2 TB disk, however, the ''/scratch'' filesystem will never have the total disk.  Large memory nodes need more swap space.
-</note>
-We strongly recommend that you refer to the node scratch by using the environment variable, ''$TMPDIR'', which is defined by Grid Engine when using ''qsub'' or ''qlogin''.
