Storage and file management: Difference between revisions

In order to ensure that there is adequate space for all Compute Canada users, there are a variety of quotas and policy restrictions concerning back-ups and automatic purging of certain filesystems. Every user has access to the home and scratch spaces by default as well as a certain amount of project space. To have access to the full 10 TB quota of project space users must submit a request while the nearline space is allocated using the annual RAC (resource allocation) process, which can also have the effect of increasing a group's quote for the project and scratch spaces.
