Individual User Work Space on SLAC Public

A new 9 TB user disk is now online. Initial, user-based quotas have been set at 1 GB per user. To access the new disk, use the following path:

/afs/slac/g/glast/users/<username>

New users will be assigned space on the new disk when they apply for write access to nfs space.

Existing users (i.e., those already having directories on the existing disks) should already have directories on the new disk.

Notes:

  • Be sure to use the /afs path shown above; it provides a permanent symbolic link to your space. Note that the underlying nfs location *may change* as disks fill up; use of the /afs path will make such changes transparent.
  • Quotas. Each user directory is actually a separate file system on the server, which is the way zfs allows the per-user quota.
  • Write Access. Since the space is charged per user, only the specified user has write access to his/her directory.
  • If you have a problem (e.g., you need to increase your quota, or you are an existing user and do not have a directory on the new disk), contact Richard Dubois or Tom Glanzman.
  • New directories require intervention by unix-admin.
