Users are NOT supposed to run jobs from this filesystem because of the low performance. In fact the emphasis on the /users
filesystem is reliability over performance: all home directories are backed up with GPFS snapshots and no cleaning policy is applied.
Quota
The $HOME
environment variable points to the personal folder /users/<username>
: please, keep in mind that you cannot exceed the 50 GB - 500 K files quota enforced on $HOME
.
Expiration
All data will be deleted 3 months after the closure of the user account without further warning!
