MCC storage Quotas
**Notice:** Our systems are designed for high reliability; however, unexpected events, including hardware failures or outages, may still occur. No data stored on these systems is backed up, and lost files cannot be restored. Please maintain your own independent copies and backups to ensure your data remains safe.
All data in /scratch and /pscratch has a 90-day file retention policy (files not accessed in scratch and group project scratch for 90 days will be automatically deleted).
Name | Location | Quota/Limit | 90-day file deletion policy | Is Data backed up ? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
User scratch | /scratch/linkblue | 25 TB (per user) | Yes | No |
Group project scratch | /pscratch/PI_linkblue_uksr | 50 TB(shared among all members in a PI group) | Yes | No |
User home | $HOME | 10 GB(per user) | No | No |
Group Project home | $PROJECT/PI_linkblue_uksr | 2 TB(shared among all members in a PI group | No | No |
We provide additional 10TB storage per PI on our Object store that is not connected to the HPC cluster and this is by request only and not by default. Please contact us if you need accounts on our Object storage.
Note: We do not back up any user data on the systems. Please make your own backups to other resources.
Please see the link for updated paths to your allocated storage spaces: Paths to use in your job scripts.
The command "/usr/local/bin/projects quotas" will show your current storage quotas for your accounts on LCC cluster.
For all large data transfers, please login to our data transfer node (DTN) mcc-dtn.ccs.uky.edu and do your transfers(rclone, scp etc). The login nodes are on a slower external up-link connection.
We also provide a GLOBUS endpoint on our DTN node for external data transfers. See here for details How To Transfer Files with Globus
