So we have contacted you, and you are reading this.

Your account is so big, the data doesn't fit in your quota on the new server. How to proceed?

1. Decide what to move elsewhere. For your (and our) convenience, we have created the file $HOME/migration/du. It lists the sizes of your subdirectories. We have also created $HOME/migration/proposed. It looks like this:

79828 /research
32987 /rawdata
------ cut here - dirs below add up to less than 49000MB -------
9159 /edu
7428 /MyBackups
4113 /.thunderbird
3228 /educonf18

That's just a suggestion. Please feel free to select different directories than we did. But do tell us what to move.

2. Decide where to move it. Please see Project_Directories.

3. Once you've told us what to move and where to move it, our servers will start copying data over. 4. Once the data is copied, we mark your account for migration. 5. At a moment when you are logged off (from all LWPs, not just your own), your account will be migrated.

6. The next time you log in, your home directory will not contain the project directories any more. They will be under /project/whatever_name_we_agreed_on.

Please not that ls /project will not show anything. Only when you actually access a directory under /project will it be mounted and shown.

When you are migrated, not only will your home directory server be on another server, some data will now be under /project
