Project filesystem

In addition to the HOME file system, there is also a project file system available that is mounted on all platforms in the HWW. It serves so that project members within the project can share smaller amounts of data such as applications, input data for simulations or configuration files with other project members. The projects do not automatically get access to this file system. Please ask if you need a project directory, then we will set it up for you.

This filesystem is located on a shared RAID system and are mounted via NFS on all login (frontend) and compute nodes. The path to the projects directories is consistent across all nodes. The filesystem space on this filesystem is limited by a small quota (50GB per user, 200GB per group)! The quota usage for your account and your groups can be listed using the na_quota command on the login nodes.

Warning: Due to the limited network performance, the project filesystem is not intended for use in massive parallel compute jobs! For massive compute jobs please use the workspace mechanism which uses the Lustre based scratch directories.

Details

• Path: /zhome/projects/groups/<groupname>
• Subdirs: common, <username>
• Userquota limit: 50GB
• Groupquota limit: 200GB
• informations about quota usage: na_quota
• Availablity: It will only be set up if there is a appropriate demand. Its only available during project lifespan. After end of the project, access, all data, all subdirs will be removed immediatly!
