Access and Account Issues
I see 'Status: LOST_ACCESS' in the Registry Info
Answer:
You need to fulfill the requirements outlined in
- BwUniCluster: Registration/bwUniCluster
- BwForCluster: Registration/bwForCluster
In short:
- BwUniCluster: you need the Registration/bwUniCluster/Entitlement
- BwForCluster: you need the Registration/bwForCluster/Entitlement
See the two links above to learn how to check if you have the entitlement.
If the entitlement is missing: please check with the local support of your home university (the university where you study or are employed)
In case the entitlement is present:
- BwUniCluster: Check if you answered the Questionnaire.
- BwForCluster: Check if you are an active member of a compute activity and the "RV" hasn't expired.
Storage and File Systems
I am over the File System Quota
There are two resources with limits enforced by quota:
- disk space
- number of inodes (files).
It is important to identify the main sources that consume these resources.
- Size: List all directories (and files) in your home directory or workspace sorted by size
du -hs * | sort -h | tail
Descend in a directory with a large reported size and repeat until you find large files that are worth taking care of.
- Inodes:
du -s --inodes * | sort -n
This will only count inodes in subdirectories. Also make sure your top-level (e.g. $HOME) directory aren't full with hundred thousands of files:
ls -1 | wc -l
