Please note that, NCI has 3 main file system locations for us to
use under each project: home, scratch and gdata.
“home” has a low quota and is generally used for settings
files and perhaps source code. It is backed up.
o Nothing except “setting files” and “source
code” please
“scratch” is a large high performance file system and is
intended to be used for working data. A policy of purging
files that have not been accessed for 90 days will be
implemented later this year – it’s a new policy so it has
to be implemented first.
o Please back up your source code there, in case your data
files are purged
o For example back up source code on github as Rui and
Yaozhong did
“gdata” is a file system for persistent data that doesn’t
get purged. It is not backed up either.
