Dear ARL DSRC Ruth User, Per BCT policy, files on the $WORKDIR file system that have not been accessed for 30 days will be removed. To enforce this BCT policy, a scrubber will be implemented on the TI-22 Ruth system on June 1, 2025, so the automated file removal process will begin on July 1, 2025. Users are encouraged to use their scratch space efficiently and economically by proactively removing files and directories from $WORKDIR that are no longer required for current or near-term processing. Users are responsible for saving their files for long-term storage to either archival space ($ARCHIVE_HOME) or home directory space ($HOME).
