User directories
When you log into the teaching cluster head node, tsubmit.math.private.uwaterloo.ca, the following file systems are available:
File system | Expiry | Access | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
/work/$USER | Yes (no backup) |
Unified | Active data files. Auto mounted. This is your home directory for these machines. |
/scratch/$USER | Post-job (no backup) |
Per-node | Node local scratch, caching |
Where:
- Per-node: means the volume is unique to each machine
- Unified access: means the volume is mounted on all Linux machines in the cluster
