Scratch Space and Old Beowulf Files Available on Cluster
I have added an 80 GB disk to the head
node of the Amber cluster, and mounted
that disk space on the other machines
in the cluster. Jobs generating large
amounts of output that needs to be
accessible from multiple machines
should use /scratch rather
than your home directory. (Jobs that
just produce a lot of output while
running, but return some smaller
result, can spool data to
/tmp.)
The /scratch partition
includes a copy of the
/hrothgar directory from
the old cluster, which has old user
files. For users with the same username
on the department's Linux cluster as on
the old Beowulf system, I have fixed
ownership so that you can access your
files. If you had an account with a
different username and can't access
your files, please send me e-mail and
I'll make the necessary changes.
