After logging in to the Free Tier, you will be in your home directory. This storage space (20 30 GB) is appropriate for smaller files, such as documents, source code, and scripts but will fill up quickly if used for data sets or other large files.

...

Terremoto's shared storage server is named "moto", and consequently the path to all home and scratch directories begins with "/moto". Your home directory is located at /moto/home/<UNI>. This is also the value of the environment variable $HOME.


Each group account on Free Tier Terremoto has an associated scratch storage space that is at least 1 terabyte (TB) in size.

Your group account's scratch storage is located under /moto/<ACCOUNT>.


For "Free Tier", the account name is "free" and each individual user has a 32GB quota in the "free" scratch space.


Note the important "No backups" warning regarding this storage at the bottom of this page. Your group account's scratch storage is located under /moto/<ACCOUNT>.


The storage for each account is as following:

The amount of data stored in any directory along with its subdirectories can be found with:

...

Free Tier users can create directories in their account's scratch storage using their UNI or a project name.


Code Block
$ cd /moto/<ACCOUNT>free/users/
$ mkdir <UNI>


For example, an astro member may create the following directory:


Code Block
$ cd /moto/astrofree/users/
$ mkdir <UNI>


Alternatively, for a project shared with other users:


Code Block
$ cd /moto/astrofree/projects/
$ mkdir <PROJECT_NAME>

...

Naming conventions (such as using your UNI for your users directory) are not enforced, but following them is highly recommended as they have worked well as organization mechanisms on previous clusters.


No Backups


Storage is not backed up. User files may be lost due to hardware failure, user error, or other unanticipated events.
