Users are provided with several storage areas, each of which serve different purposes. These areas are intended for storage of data for a particular user and not for storage of project data.
The following table summarizes user-centric storage areas available on OLCF resources and lists relevant polices.
| Area | Nickname | Path | Type | Quota | Backups | Purge | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| User Home | – | /ccs/home/$USER | NFS | 5 GB | Yes | Not purged | 1 month after account deactivation |
| User Work | “Spider” | /tmp/work/$USER | Lustre | None | No | Files > 14 days old subject to deletion | Not retained |
| User Archive | “HPSS” | /home/$USER | HPSS | 2 TB (or 2k files) | No | Not purged | 3 months after account deactivation |
Important! Files in User Work directories are not backed up, and are eligible for purge (deletion) when they become older than 14 days.
