IA migration §6: split Filesystems /home section into Home Directory (via create-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)

New page

Your home directory is your personal space on Anunna, available on every node in the cluster.

== Location and size ==

Your home directory is at <code>/home/<group>/<username></code>, also reachable as <code>$HOME</code>, where <code><group></code> reflects your affiliation. Each user has a quota of 200 GB — see [[Quotas]].

== What to use it for ==

Home is mounted over NFS from the cluster's active master node, which makes it reliable but slower than the [[Compute Storage|Lustre filesystem]]. Use it for things that need to be kept safe but are not performance-critical:

* programs and scripts you install for yourself
* configuration files (dotfiles, environment settings)
* small inputs and results you want to keep

Do not run large or I/O-heavy compute jobs directly against your home directory; use [[Compute Storage]] for that.

== Backups ==

Home directories are backed up to tape regularly and can be restored from up to roughly a week of history. See [[Backup Policy]] for what is and isn't backed up across Anunna.
