Date: March 11th, 12:00pm-1:00pm ETPresenters: Dr. Rakesh Raghavaraju CAC
Similar to disk space, inodes (the number of files on a filesystem) are a limited resource. Therefore, each user and group are allocated a fixed number of inodes, by default. In this webinar, filesystem quotas on the Alliance clusters and best practices for managing file quotas will be presented, including the use of archival storage. Inconsistencies in file ownership leading to “disk quota exceeded” errors will be discussed. Finally, file formats such as NetCDF and SQL BLOBs for effectively storing large sets of small files will be presented.
