About the machine

Storage

  • /home/[username] (capped at 1TB): backed up
  • /net/sampo/data1 (200TB): Not backed up, but is somewhat protected against failure by redundant RAID partition
    • it is also accessible via /export/data1, but the above path is available also on clima, so if you create a symlink using this, it should work on both machines.

If you're on the local network (or connected via VPN), you can mount home and data1 via Samba smb://sampo.gps.caltech.edu/ (you may need to request access).
