SLab:File System Layout

Schuster Lab Root Directory

• /afs/bx.psu.edu/depot/data/schuster_lab

The Schuster Lab's data can be found in the /afs/bx.psu.edu/depot/data/schuster_lab directory.

The volume mounted at this location is RO-replicated. The main purpose of this root data.schuster_lab volume is to contain mounpoints to other volumes, as well as the symlink farm under sequencing/

Sequencing Directory

• /afs/bx.psu.edu/depot/data/schuster_lab/sequencing

Access to all of the Schuster Lab's sequencing data is through the sequencing directory. This directory contains archived run directories as well as directories for runs that are currently in progress.

Most of the top-level run directories under sequencing/ are symlinks managed by the new symlink management system: http://github.com/phalenor/ssdfs

SSDFS is not currently capable of delegating commands to normal users, and requires some finesse when executing certain commands due to NFS permissions. Email admin-at-bx.psu.edu if something under sequencing/ doesn't look right.
