$CINECA_SCRATCH does not have any disk quota. Please be aware that on Galileo and Marconi cluster, in order to prevent a very dangerous filling condition, a 20TB disk quota will be temporarily imposed to all users when the global quota area will reach the 88% of occupancy; this disk quota will be removed when the global occupancy lowers back to normal. To check for the occupancy , please use the cindata command, that will list all file sets containing any file owned by your username.
To verify if and how the cleaning procedure is active on a given cluster, check the Mott-of-the-Day.
