Cloud Cluster External Shared Storage

The cloud cluster has 13 nodes of external storage, running a PVFS2 filesystem. This storage space will be available for all users and is mounted as /pvfs2 on all cloud nodes. At the time of this writing, however, it is unavailable pending a disk upgrade.

Users should store their files in /pvfs2/<username> rather than simply /pvfs2. Orphaned files found on the top level directory will be deleted.

Problems with the pvfs2 shared storage should be reported to disc-help+shared-storage@ece.cmu.edu
