Great Lakes Storage

Every user has a /scratch directory for every Slurm account they are a member of.  Additionally for that account, there is a shared data directory for collaboration with other members of that account.  The account directory group ownership is set using the Slurm account-based UNIX groups, so all files created in the /scratch directory are accessible by any group member, to facilitate collaboration.

Example:

/scratch/msbritt_root/msbritt1
/scratch/msbritt_root/msbritt1/bob
/scratch/msbritt_root/msbritt1/shared_data

Please note that for your slurm accounts they represent different funding sources. 0--> UMRCP, 1 -->Research Allocation X,  2--> Research Allocation Y,  etc. so msbritt0 would represent UMRCP and msbrit1 is a paid account.
