Proper usage of /tmp

  • Please include as a last line on your scripts something like “rm -rf
    $TMPDIR” in order to make sure that there’s no data left on the node
    after your job terminated. See link below for further info: How to submit a job
  • If your jobs fail, you can use the script ‘clean_temp_dirs.sh’ on the
    submit host to clean out any remaining data on the nodes. Please use it,
    but only when you have a lot of jobs that failed.
  • Please don’t write gigabytes of data. There’s 130GB free space on the
    c2-x, if you managed to fill this up you did something wrong.
  • Please be considerate. If you fuck up the cluster, you block all
    other users and, in terms of near deadlines like now, tempers rise
    easily.
