/besfs5→/besfs10(maybe/home/bes?) #100Combines three related updates to the storage documentation, since they all touch the same table on the Data quota page.
/besfs5→/besfs10(#100)Picks up the existing
MAINT/besfs10work and adds a row for/home/bes/$USER, noting that it is a symlink to/besfs10/homebesand is the path IHEP recommends, because it should survive the next file system migration./home/besand/workfs2are now also mentioned as alternatives for the BOSS install folder.Storage quota (#107)
The table claimed
/besfs10has no quota. In reality the quota is applied per directory (50 GB), whichlfs quota -u $USERdoes not reveal — so jobs die halfway through withDisk quota exceededand no prior warning.lfs_diris now documented as the command that shows the limit you actually run into.Backup information (#101)
Adds a Backup column to the table, plus a note that anything not under version control belongs on a backed-up file system, and that caches and large data files do not. Step 1 of the setup tutorial now warns that
/besfs10is not backed up and recommends keeping theworkareain a Git repository.Note
The 50 GB figure and the backup column are taken from the discussion in #100 and #107 — http://afsapply.ihep.ac.cn was not reachable to verify them against the official pages, so please correct if these are off. The maximum file count for
/besfs10is listed as not documented rather than carrying over the old1,000,000from/besfs5.
