Remove data from OSC Scratch file system

The scratch file system (/fs/scratch) is very full. Please help reduce your scratch file system usage by deleting data that is no longer needed; compressing infrequently accessed data and identifying important data that needs be moved to OSC's other file system. OSC may perform emergency file deletion to maintain the overall health of the service, if needed.

Change is Coming!

Later this fall, OSC will be introducing a major change to the current process clients use to get help. We will be rolling out a new web-based system for clients to manage and review open cases with the service desk. More information will be forthcoming over the next few months, so keep an eye out for messages on various OSC communication channels, as well as at https://www.osc.edu/service_portal_deployment .
