Savio Scratch file system is back! Sat. 11/16

Our admin team has worked tirelessly to restore the Savio cluster's scratch system. The cluster functionality is now back to normal, and we are thankful for your patience and support throughout the process. We also appreciate users' continuing efforts to clean up and move their (un-needed) files out of scratch. As a part of best practices, we urge users to keep backing up their files from scratch to permanent storage discs and avoid storing massive numbers of tiny files in scratch for long periods.
