Directories and filesystems

INCD filesystem is based on lustre. Lustre is a shared filesystem (present in the execution hosts and in the submission hosts) dedicated for the storage of big/huge files.

Summary

Name[1] Purpose Availability Quota [2] TimeLimit [3] Backup
/home/unixgrp/user User default home always 20GB/user none no
/data/unixgrp Group data large data files [4]. always 100GB/group temporary (will be deleted after 6 months)[4] no
/exper-sw/unixgrp Install software for groups on request no limit permanent no

[1] Each user belongs to a Unix group:

  • unixgrp - determined by the project they are attached to [2] Increases to these quotas will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

[3] Timelimit defines time after which a file is erased on the file system since its most recent access time, as defined by the file access timestamp.

[4] This folder has read+write permission to all users belong same group

NOTE: To know your unix group id type: id username

Filesystems

/home

  • Intended to be used for source code, executables and irreproducible data (input files etc), NOT large data sets.
  • Globally accessible from all nodes within a system.
  • Quotas apply. Please read our Disk Quota Policy To know your actual quota limite:
lfs quota -uh username /home/unixgrp/username

Disk quotas for usr username (uid XXXXXX):
     Filesystem    used   quota  limit grace  files   quota   limit   grace
  /home/unixgrp/username  11.6G  20G   20G     -      1395    10400  10400    -

NOTE: if your used >=quota users are not allowed to write

/data

    Each project has a directory with pathname /data/unixgrp on each compute system. Users connected to the project have rwx permissions in that directory and so may create their own files in those areas. Globally accessible from all nodes within a system. Quotas apply. Please read our Disk Quota Policy To know your actual quota limite:
    lfs quota -uh username /data/unixgrp
    
    Disk quotas for usr username (uid XXXXXX):
         Filesystem    used   quota  limit   grace   files    quota    limit   grace
      /data/unixgrp/  219.6G  300G   300G     -      81395    1102400  102400    -
    

    NOTE: if your used >=quota users are not allowed to write
