The old users can copy files from the old-home: /nica/user/*/username.
( Use command eoscp or xrdcp ).
For the data storage the disk space in directory /eos/nica is divided to
3th project:
BMN – /eos/nica/bmn,
MPD – /eos/nica/mpd,
SPD – /eos/nica/spd.
You should send a request to the project admin for receiving the place
into these directories of your project!
Recommendations for using the NICA cluster:
- Do not use /weekly for long-term storage of files – quickly transfer them to EOS!
- Do not copy file from /weekly to /eos, use /tmp or /toEos on ncx104, /weekly->/toEos->/eos more than 10 times faster then /weekly->/eos
- Run Your jobs from /tmp, and use /tmp as data output for small file (size of /tmp ~220 GB,) as data output for big files please use /weekly
- Don’t forget clean working folders in /tmp and /weekly after using
