Working with shared folders in the Lustre file system

If you work in a group or team and use large volumes of data, it is useful to work within a shared space. User can thus share inputs to their models and make their outputs also easily available. This article explains how to do so within the Lustre file system, that presently supports the HPC.

Identifying a suitable user group

Users access the HPC cluster with their WUR-wide account. This means that all the membership information is also available in the HPC system. To check of which groups is your user a member of, use the following command:

groups <username>

This can result in a rather long list, reflecting permissions in the overall WUR systems. Within these groups you must then identify the one that is closer to match the team or group with which you wish to collaborate.

For instance, if I wish to work together with colleagues at ISRIC, I can search within my groups an appropriate match:

groups duque004 | grep isric

In my case the group des-isric-users looked appropriate. Then next step is to confirm if the other users in my team are also members of the group.
