Project Directories

If you need space under /project, contact lwp@rug.nl, and to speed things up, answer these questions already:

• Name: What should we call that directory under /project?
• Size: How much space do you need? If we need to set up an entire new server for you, especially consider the next question.
• Pay: Who is authorizing that use? (Cc: to supervisor, Demand Manager or whomever)
• Removal: When can we discard that data? If never, consider the next question.
• Succession: You are going to be the owner of that project directory. Three months after your account is revoked, we remove the data. If that should not happen, tell us whom to give it to.

Once we prepare the space for you, you can access it. Let's assume it is called 'mydir':

ls /project/mydir

Please note that this won't work:

ls /project

That's because the directory has to be mounted by autofs, and autofs needs to know what to mount first.
