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.  
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.  
By default on our clusters each user has access to the home and scratch spaces, and each group has access to 1 TB of project space. The nearline space has a default quota of 5 TB per group which is made available upon request to [[technical support]]. The nearline filesystem is made up of medium to low performance storage in very high capacity. This filesystem should be used for storage of data that is infrequently accessed that needs to be kept for long periods of time. Small increases in nearline, project, and scratch spaces are available through our Rapid Access Service ([https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/accessing-resources/rapid-access-service/ RAS]). Larger increases in nearline and project spaces are available through the annual Resource Allocation Competitions ([https://www.computecanada.ca/research-portal/accessing-resources/resource-allocation-competitions RAC]). You can see your current quota usage for various filesystems on Cedar and Graham using the command [[Storage and file management#Overview|<tt>diskusage_report</tt>]].
