Clarify that the value of SCRATCH discussed here is for the ML platform to avoid confusion if someone finds this through another link and doesn't notice it is only for the MLp.

This is not really reflecting reality.

bristen is part of the ML platform but has capstor as SCRATCH defined. I think this applies purely to clariden, and not the ML platform as a whole (as of now)

Hm, ok. Then this is even more confusing.

Note that this is in the MLP documentation, and it reflects reality on the platform.

The main docs for storage mention the difference between MLP and other platforms:

I wonder if something changed on Bristen? Did SCRATCH point to iopstor in the past?

I confirmed with Fawzi that this was simply an oversight on Bristen. He's already put in a MR to change it.
