Sun workstation scratch directoriesEach Sun workstation has its own /scratch directory, usually 5 or moregigabytes in size, and this is where you should generate any huge data files, such as graphics/animations files, if on a Sun. (NOTE: The Linux/Dell workstations have much larger available disk space.) Also, any huge data sets which are already backed up somewhere (or don't need to be backed up) can reside here. Note: files in the scratch directories may be deleted automatically after 3 months; be sure to touch any files you need for another three months... 2 Jul 2006 07:00 |

unix> touch oldfile.datwill change the timestamp for file oldfile.dat, as shown by the command ls -l oldfile.dat. This makes the file ``new'' for purposes of scratch directory maintenance -- no file younger than 3 months old will be deleted except by consultation with the file's owner.
