Please periodically check whether your scientific results data stored on HLRN file systems should be periodically transferred to the user's home institution. To maintain good I/O performance for all user jobs, the usage of the shared file systems of the HLRN resources needs to be limited. The HLRN supports three different file systems for the users, see also File Systems.
- HOME , HOME=(
/home/${USER})- for a higher number of files (configuration files, source code and executables)
- limited disk space
- backup
- WORK , WORK=(
/scratch/usr/${USER}or/scratch/projects/<projectID>)- parallel input/output for your jobs, moderate number of files
- transient nature of data
- no backup, no disaster recovery
- PERM
- secure file system location on magnetic tapes
- no solution for long-term data archiving
- no guarantee for 10 years according to rules for good scientific practice
