 ==== Write output files to /scratch/username ====
-For every account on the cluster a directory on the cluster wide filesystem /scratch is created. It is very important that you do not write your output files from jobs to /home///username// but /scratch///username// instead. This is easily accomplished by submitting you rjobs directly from /scratch///username//.

 Otherwise the NFS server for /home might get into big trouble. You can copy necessary input data for your jobs from /home to /scratch before the main programs start and copy important output data back to /home after the jobs finished. You can also just keep output data on /scratch. Nothing on the filesystem will ever be deleted. The main difference is, that /home is just a single server while /scratch is a cluster-filesystem based on Fraunhofer FS that utilizes many servers at the same time.
