VM Storage
Storage is split across two sets of directories.
- Personal directory
The personal directory for individual data storage is mounted under /home/$USER. Little space is allotted for /home directories per VM. Individual home folders are personal, and not shareable.
- Shared storage space
Shared storage space is mounted under /standard/ivy-hip-name where ivy-hip-name is replaced by the name of your Ivy project’s Grouper group name.
The default of Research Standard Storage is 1TB. PIs can get more when first requesting the Ivy project. Storage can be resized using our Storage Request Form.
Rio Caveat
One caveat to consider when working in the Rio environment is that /home is not mounted on Rio compute nodes. This means that if your compute jobs reference any files in your /home storage, they will not be found. Ivy VMs not using Rio can ignore this condition.
We recommend working exclusively out of the VM’s Research Standard storage directly for Rio. Individual user subdirectories are automatically created under /standard to organize the space.
