File Systems

/home

The home directories are located in /home/<yourname>.

/home is an NFS-mount to a 2 TByte Raid-5 SAN. /home is backed up and mounted on all nodes.

/work

Data needed for a certain time can be saved in /work which is a Lustre Filesystem that has access to 50 TByte Raid-5 SAN. /work is mounted on all nodes but not backed up. The working directory of large jobs should be in /work or /workbig.

/workbig

/workbig is (as the name already suggests) similar to /work but with more capacity. 150 TB can be accessed here from every node.

/perm

Used to store data permanently. Data will be migrated to tape automatically. NOT YET AVAILABLE.

/tmp

Unix /tmp that is kept on local disks.
