In addition to shared network storage, each system has a local `/scratch`

`/scratch/` is not shared between nodes, not stored in raid, and not backed up in any way. However, this storage does not have any automatic purging policy (unlike `/tmp/`), so the files should persist as long as the storage doesn’t fill up and the drives don’t fail.
