Projects are provided with several storage areas for the data they need. Project directories provide members of a project with a common place to store code, data files, documentation, and other files related to their project. While this information could be stored in one or more user directories, storing in a project directory provides a common location to gather all files.
The following table summarizes project-centric storage areas available on OLCF resources and lists relevant policies.
Area | Nickname | Path | Type | Quota | Backups | Purge | Retention |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Project Home | – | /ccs/proj/[projectid] |
NFS | 50 GB | Yes | Not purged | 1 month after project deactivation |
Project Work | “Spider” | /tmp/proj/[projectid] |
Lustre | 2 TB | No | Not purged | Not retained |
Project Archive | “HPSS” | /proj/[projectid] |
HPSS | 100 TB (or 100k files) | No | Not purged | 3 months after project deactivation |
Important! Files in Project Work directories are not backed up.
