Since /work usage on hexagon continue to rise sharply (also after our request for cleanup) we will be forced to implement automatic deletion in /work starting from October 1st 2009.

The automatic deletion will be done at any time when the /work usage is above 65%. The script will delete files based on age, size and last access - prioritizing oldest files for deletion first. Files newer than 7 days will not be deleted.

Since this deletion process (as well as the high disk usage percent) will take away disk-performance from the running jobs - the best solution is of course for you to remember to clean up after each job.

Remember that /work has no backup and is intended for the input and output data of the current running jobs only.

The policy and thresholds for the disk-cleanup may need to be revised if the /work usage continue to be too high. In that case we will contact hexagon users again.

Please send any questions to support-uib@notur.no.
