Subject: File system for scratch space (in HPC cluster)

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
