Farm sells hardware and storage with a five-year guarantee. Many Farm hardware components have exceeded their lifecycle but will NOT be retired during the June 2026 maintenance window.

The `/scratch/nfs` convenience mount no longer exists. If you need to access the network scratch, you can use the full path `/nfs/hive/scratch`. This area is no longer automatically deleted at the end of every job, so you can use it for temporary storage for data that needs to be accessed by multiple jobs. It is your responsibility to remove this data when you no longer need it. Abuse of this storage can result in your jobs being killed and your account being locked.
