The /users filesystem is generally provided by our VAST filesystem. On Eiger is still provided by GPFS.
Users are NOT supposed to run jobs on this filesystem. All home directories are backed up with VAST/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!
