Servers
The DeBlasio Lab server(s) is/are set up to be used for research conducted in the group. The following policies should be used to interact with our machine(s).
- Storage
Your home directory is for small storage (login scripts, configuration files, etc.) and not for research code or data. All users share 256G of home directory space. All other data should go on the set of hard disk drives (in `/mnt/`, see below for setting up these directories).
- Code
All code should be committed to the group GitHub account as often as possible. While in development, this repository may be kept private, but the code will be made public when relevant papers are submitted for publication.
- Data
Data should *never* be put into git repos, they can be in the same directory but should not be under version control.
- Mounded Disks/`mkdatadir`
Within the mounted drives, you must create a directory with your username to keep your code and data. The drives themselves are not writeable other than your own directories, to create a new storage directory you will use `mkdatadir`. For example, if you want to create a directory to use in `/mnt/disk005` you would run `mkdatadir 5`. This will create a new directory `/mnt/disk005/<username>/`.
