Space management
Space usage
Every users should bear in mind that space management is tricky, on one hand it is hard to know how much is needed and on the other hand, it is never enough. The amount of space cannot be infinite (for the time being). However, with a good management it is possible to extend the life span of the available storage and make sure everyone can work. We distinguish 2 types of storage, the administrative storage and the working storage.
Administrative storage
The seq and home folders are administrative partitions and their access is limited. seq is where all the sequencing runs are saved. Only admins can modify the folders in this partition. Which means that only admins can save the sequencing run there. User can see all sequencing runs unless decided otherwise. In the home partition, users have access to their personal folders. These folders should not be used to store any sequencing runs or any output files related to sequencing run analysis or big files in general.
