Mass Data Storage through Lewis


Each user is limited to storing a maximum of 2.5 GB of programs and data in their home directory on Lewis.  To store larger amounts a second storage facility is in place and can be reached through the symbolic link to /data in the user’s home directory.  Each user is limited to storing a default maximum of 50 GB of data in this file system.  Only someone logged in with the correct userid and password, or a system administrator can reach the data either in the home directory or under /data unless you change the permissions to those directories.  This quota system will eventually be enforced on Lewis.  To request greater storage please read this.
