Project
The Project directories of projects are for
- configuration files
- source code
- self-built software
- medium term data storage
The Project storage systems have the following characteristics:
- Optimized for a high number of files rather than capacity
- Optimized for robustness rather than performance
- Backed up and/or has snapshots
- Has a quota
The Project filesystems have slow-medium to medium performance.
The directory’s symlink in the Project Map directory for each project has the name dir.project.
The Project directories for each kind of project are given in the table below.
| Kind of Project | Path | Media | Capacity | Filesystem |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHR | /mnt/vast-nhr/projects/PROJECT | SSD | 1.15 PiB (shared)(comp)(dedup) | VAST exported via NFS |
| KISSKI | /mnt/vast-kisski/projects/PROJECT | SSD | 1.15 PiB (shared)(comp)(dedup) | VAST exported via NFS |
| REACT | /mnt/vast-react/projects/PROJECT | SSD | 1.15 PiB (shared)(comp)(dedup) | VAST exported via NFS |
Info
Ones marked with “(shared)” in their capacity share space with other data stores. For example, NHR Project and HOME data stores are on the storage system.
Ones marked with “(comp)” use live compression to increase effective capacity, though this comes at the expense of some CPU time to compress and decompress.
Ones marked with “(dedup)” use deduplication to increase effective capacity.
