Overview of PDSF File Systems
User Home Directories
User home directories are located under '/u/login-name' directory structure. Thy are cross-mounted to all PDSF nodes and regularly backed up. Home directories currently have 500MB disk quotas. quota command shows user's quotas in blcks (1block = 256 kB)
Local Scratch Areas
These areas are designated as '/scratch' on each PDSF node. The disks are NOT cross mounted between nodes in the PDSF system.
The scratch areas currently are partitions (on average ~10 GB for batch and 55 GB for interactive linux systems , 245 GB for pdsfsu00 system) useful for single node processes with significant I/O requirments which can be directed to locally stored data files. Files in these areas are not backed up and should be moved to more stable storage areas after use.
We have the following policy for scratch cleanup on the interactive nodes:- If the partition is greater than 95% full, delete all files except those of running jobs.
