The OSC Scratch filesystem (/fs/scratch) is currently under significant space pressure. To address this, OSC is preparing a proposed policy update that would reduce the default data retention period on Scratch.
Under the current policy, we may need to implement a one-time emergency reduction in retention time to free up space. To help avoid this, we are asking all clients to *voluntarily delete any unneeded data* from Scratch as soon as possible.
Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help maintain system stability for everyone.
