- On our campus AIX system (an RS/6000 POWERserver box), we also point to a
- separate filesystem -- we call it "/scratch" -- and run jobs periodically to
- clean out any scratch files that haven't been accessed in a while. We have
- had to increase the scratch space significantly over the months; and, we
- don't quite like our solution because so much unused disk-space sites idle
- for so often. Oh well ... any better ideas, anyone?
