The /LAB-DATA directory
It is a permanent work and storage space that can be used in batches. Large files that are used during batch executions are generally stored there: large source files and libraries, data files, executables, result files, submission scripts.
| You MUST NOT run jobs on this storage space. Doing so will impact the whole GLiCID infrastructure, and penalize all the users. |
| in CLAM, you must submit your project and request disk space which can be subject to pricing |
The best way to store data on it is to make archives (ideally compressed, for example tar.gz or tar.xz).
To store the data resulting from calculations on the scratch, it is recommended that you create an archive (ideally compressed, for example tar.gz or tar.xz) on this same scratch, THEN move this archive to a dedicated volumetric space (LAB-DATA). Once the archive has been moved, you will delete the data from the scratch. Creating the compressed archive on scratch is crucial: you will save a lot of time, space and volumetric storage space.
The usable paths for this storage are :
-
/LAB-DATA/GLiCID/users/<username> -
/LAB-DATA/GLiCID/projects/<project_name> -
/LAB-DATA/GLiCID/teams/<teams_name> -
/LAB-DATA/GLiCID/labs/<lab_name>
