Talapas File Structure
Talapas is a cluster of Linux systems, so file structure on Talapas follows the typical structure you’d find on a standard Linux system. As a user, there are several locations in which to store your data on Talapas:
Home
Your home directory at /home/<username>
has a quota of 250GB and can be used to store whatever work-related data you might need. This directory is only accessible by you.
Projects
For each project you’re a part of, you have a /home/<project>
symlink in your home directory to /projects/<project>
. This project directory is owned by the PI and all members of the PIRG have read/write access to files and directories created here to enable collaboration. By default, the project has a 2TB quota and can be increased by purchasing additional storage.
Â
For example, here is my home directory. Notice the symlink from racs
to /projects/racs
.

I can navigate to my racs
project via the symlink:
[adm-lcrown@login1 ~]$ cd racs
[adm-lcrown@login1 racs]$
Or via the direct path:
[adm-lcrown@login1 ~]$ cd /projects/racs
[adm-lcrown@login1 racs]$
This directory is where I can store my files for collaboration with other users on the project.
