At present we're using a huge swap partition and TMPFS instead of btrfs.
You could probably do this with a volume manager and creating a
regular filesystem as well but it would be slower.

Hi William,

I always liked your idea for handling scratch space, apart from the contention with RAM that using tmpfs would cause. But I thought you considered that a feature, not a bug? Your btrfs variation sounds much better on that score :)

It's just occurred to me that you might also be able to do this on more stable^W^Wless advanced filesystems, by assigning a group quota on the GID that gridengine allocated to the job and using some chmod g+s trickery. I guess it could be circumvented by the determined using chgrp. What do you think?
