Using the DGX station¶
User Directories¶
Each user will have two directories according to the user’s account:
/home/user_name
and:
/raid/home/user_name
Note that files under “/home/user_name” consume the 1.92 TB OS storage while files under “/raid/home/user_name” consume the 5.76 TB Data storage(see here for detailed Hardware Summary of DGX station).
To avoid the unnecessary consumption of OS storage, all users should only use:
/raid/home/user_name
as their working directory.
Data Backup¶
Only storing data under “/raid” without a backup is unsafe since we use the RAID 0 configuration.
All users are required to back up their data by themselves using their preferred ways under the directory:
/data/dgx/backup/user_name
The data under “/data/dgx/backup” is stored in an external 8TB disk. It is also recommended that all users still make another copy of their important data outside the DGX station.
