Subject: File system for scratch space (in HPC cluster)
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 12:43:40 +0200 [thread overview]

Dear Linux folks,
In our cluster, we offer scratch space for temporary files. As
these files are temporary, we do not need any safety
requirements – especially not those when the system crashes or
shuts down. So no `sync` is for example needed.
Are there file systems catering to this need? I couldn’t find
any? Maybe I missed some options for existing file systems.
Kind regards,
Paul
