NFShomes

You have 30GB of home directory storage available at /nfshomes/<username>. It has both Snapshots and Backups enabled.

Home directories are intended to store personal or configuration files only. We encourage you to not share any data in your home directory. You are encouraged to utilize our GitLab infrastructure to host your code repositories.

NOTE: To check your quota on this directory, use the command df -h ~.

Please note that you should never chmod your nfshomes directory to be world-writable given that it is where SSH keys and other authentication related files are stored.

If you to access this file system over CIFS i.e., from Windows and some other operating systems, the path to use is (substituting <username> with your UMIACS username):

 \\isilondata.umiacs.umd.edu\nfshomes\<username>

CIFS access is limited to machines in the domain. Please use the VPN if you need access from outside UMIACS networks, such as from the campus wireless network.
