The ERDC DSRC has implemented a purge policy on Sapphire for it's /work and /work2 file systems. Files that have not been accessed in 30 days on those file systems are subject to the purge. Users should use DMS (Gold or Silver) for long term file storage by using the tar command to collect their needed files, and then use the archive command to put the tar file to DMS.
UNIX commands that may help in finding files that could be purged:
> ls -lu myfile -> will show the date and time that myfile was last accessed
> find /work/userid -atime +28 -print -> will find all files in /work/userid that has an access date of more than 28 days
