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.
