Each user of the Bohrg and Dominion clusters has a home-directory which lives on the central disk array --- this directory is shared between the two clusters (i.e., users will see the same files on dominion1 as on storage).
Users will find themselves in their home-directory on login. These directories are automounted and accessible as
/home/bohrg/<username>
on storage, dominion1 and both sets of compute nodes.
Home-directories on bohrg1 and bohrg3 are completely independent of those on the clusters; they live on the internal disks of the gateway machines.
This said, for backup purposes, and so as to help file transfer between Bohrg (and Dominion), and the outside world, home-directories from storage are accessible as /home/bohrg/<username> on bohrg1 (not on bohrg3) --- this access is read-only for security-related reasons.
There are currently no home-directory quotas in operation. If space becomes short quotas will be introduced.
Home-directories are backed up. In the event of a disk-crash (or accidental file deletion) files stored in home-directories will be restored. Backups are taken on most days, so that restored directories (or files) should normally be at most a few hours out of date.
