====== Bigtemp ======

Bigtemp is a large storage volume available from our Linux systems.  From a Linux server, bigtemp is accessible in the root directory ''%%/bigtemp%%''.  To store files in this volume, create a folder in ''%%/bigtemp%%'' with the same name as your computing ID.

<code>
ktm5j@host ~ $ cd /bigtemp
ktm5j@host /bigtemp $ mkdir ktm5j && cd ktm5j
ktm5j@host /bigtemp/ktm5j $ 
</code>

You will have ownership of the new directory that you have created.  Use ''%%chmod%%'' to adjust the permissions on this new directory if desired.

Bigtemp is meant to be seen as **volatile scratch space** and **not** long term storage. It is not backed up. When storage gets low on this volume we will scan through and delete files with the oldest m-time.


===== Samba Access =====

''%%/bigtemp%%'' is available to mount via samba.  //[[storage_home_directories#samba|See here for more information]]//
