| 3 | There are currently two disk space areas on HECToR. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * HOME space |
| 6 | {{{ |
| 7 | /home/n02/n02/<userid> |
| 8 | }}} |
| 9 | This disk space is backed up by HECToR so NCAS has limited space, an NCAS user allocation is therefore relatively small. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * WORK space |
| 12 | {{{ |
| 13 | /work/n02/n02/<userid> |
| 14 | }}} |
| 15 | This disk space is NOT backed up and is the only disk space accessible by HECToR batch jobs. NCAS has a large allocation and so an NCAS user allocation can be relatively large, up to a few Tbytes. |

| 17 | {{{#!box type=note |
| 18 | **Important:** \\ |
| 19 | There is no specific scratch filesystem, and /tmp is not accessible by users from jobs running on the compute nodes. Thus users who desire a temporary scratch directory should set the environment variable $TMPDIR to point to a valid directory within their account on the work filesystem. |
