Disk usage conventions

We differentiate dockers from everyone else. If you are a full time member of the group, your disk space allocation will be like this:

Your home directory is for important or small files. 500 GB default. Backed up.

/nfs/home/<userid>/

We expect you to run docking calculations in work. 1TB default. Not backed up.

/nfs/work/<userid>/

If you have large amounts of data you want kept, e.g. from the synchrotron, you may request repository space to keep it. Backed up. Size by agreement. Please compress your image files!

/nfs/store/<userid>/

If you generate private databases, you may request /db/ space. Backup by arrangement. Size by agreement.

/nfs/db/<userid>/

If you have software you want to share, you may request /software/ space. backed up. 500 GB.

/nfs/software/<userid>/

Getting set up with lab software
