MedicineBow uses the Data (VAST) filesystem configured with a 3 petabytes NVMe system, including advanced block-based data deduplication which will give an expected 6 PB of overall capacity. The cluster has several storage locations available for users and allocated for specific purposes. These storage spaces are described below.

home - /home/<username> $USER/

  • Space for configuration files and software installations. This file space is intended to be small and always resides on SSDs. The /home file space is snapshotted to recover from accidental deletions.

  • alias: $HOME

project - /project/project_name/<username>$USER/

  • Space to collaborate among project members. Data here is persistent and is exempt from purge policy. The /project file space is snapshotted to recover from accidental deletions.

gscratch - /gscratch/<username> $USER/

  • Space to perform computing for individual users. Data here is subject to a purge policy defined below. Warning emails will be sent when deletions are expected. No snapshots.

  • alias:$SCRATCH
