You need to configure the size parameter on the MOMs. There is an
example in the pbs_man manpage:
size[fs=<FS>]
Specifies that the available and configured disk space in the
<FS> filesystem is to be reported to the pbs_server and sched-
uler. NOTE: To request disk space on a per job basis, specify
the file resource as in 'qsub -l nodes=1,file=1000kb' For exam-
ple, the available and configured disk space in the
/localscratch filesystem will be reported:
size[fs=/localscratch]
