    • Description : GPFS shared parallel filesystem, replicated, and not backed up.
    • Purpose: To store software related code and scripts, default quota size is small and fixed.
    • Mount: /home/<user>
    • Access: All Lilac nodes, including compute storage and login nodes.
    • Default quota: 100GB
    • Snapshots: 7 days of snapshots. ( not backed up ). Can be accessed in /home/.snapshots/<user>
    • Replicated: yes

Lilac compute storage : 

    • Description : GPFS shared parallel filesystem, replicated, and not backed up.
    • Purpose: For jobs to read and write compute data from login and compute nodes, default quota size is larger with flexibility to request larger quota.
    • Mount: /data/<lab group>
    • Access: All Lilac nodes, including compute storage and login nodes.
    • Default quota: 5TB ( Increased/Decreased on request )
    • Snapshots: 7 days of snapshots. ( not backed up ). Can be accessed in /data/.snapshots/<date>/<lab group>
    • Replicated: yes

Lilac warm storage : 

    • Description : GPFS shared parallel filesystem, not replicated, and not backed up. Comparatively slower than lilac compute storage.
    • Purpose: To store long term data. Only accessible from login nodes and cannot be accessed from compute nodes.
    • Mount: /warm/<lab group>
    • Access: Only lilac and luna login nodes.
    • Default quota: 5TB ( Increased/Decreased on request )
    • Snapshots: 7 days of snapshots. ( not backed up ). Can be accessed in /warm/.snapshots/<date>/<lab group>
    • Replicated: no

Lilac local scratch storage : 

    • Description : XFS filesystem, not replicated, and not backed up. Local and not a shared filesystem, slower than GPFS.
    • Purpose: To store local temporary data related to compute jobs. Since this is not a shared filesystem, the temporary data needs to be cleaned up and copied back to shared filesystem after job completion.
    • Mount: /scratch/
    • Access: Only lilac compute nodes.
    • Default quota: No quota and limited to free disk space in /scratch.
    • Snapshots: No snapshots.
    • Replicated: no
