How much space do I have?

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are transferring files to /n/scratch3 using a tool and flag to preserve timestamps (e.g. rsync -a or -t), those files will also be subject to the deletion policy based on the original timestamp. If the preserved timestamp on a file is greater than 30 days, it will be deleted the next day, even if it had just been moved. This behavior may also occur if you are installing software on /n/scratch3 for personal usage for whatever reason; if there is a step inside the installation process that is simply copying files, and timestamps are preserved, your software may appear to stop functioning randomly as those files get purged prematurely. This is dangerous because the user rarely has insight as to when this occurs. Please be very judicious about handling files when moving them to or generating them on /n/scratch3; as mentioned above, if you are affected by this behavior, the files are unrecoverable.
GPU dedicated scratch space (/n/scratch_gpu/users/a/ab123)
This space is very similar to the standard /n/scratch3 space described above, with a quota of 15TiB per user and an idle-data retention policy of 30 days. The /n/scratch_gpu filesystem is dedicated for GPU computing and, at this time, only available for labs whose PI has a primary or secondary appointment in a pre-clinical HMS department. To learn more about scratch_gpu please visit Scratch_gpu Storageunrecoverable.
GPU dedicated scratch space (/n/scratch_gpu/users/a/ab123)
Research Computing is no longer providing the /n/scratch_gpu filesystem. Please use /n/scratch3 instead.
