ws_extend - Extend Workspace Lifetime

Basic Usage

  $ ws_extend myWs 30                      # Extend by 30 days from now

Alternative: 

  $ ws_allocate -x myWs 30                 # Same result

Important: Each extension consumes one of your available extensions. See Cluster-Specific Workspace Limits.

Extend Group Workspace

Works on cluster bwUC 3.0 BinAC2 Helix JUSTUS 2 NEMO2
ws_allocate -x -u (extend other user's workspace) ✓

Group members can extend group-writable workspaces (created with -G): 

  $ ws_allocate -x -u alice projectWs 30   # Extend Alice's workspace by 30 days

Useful when the workspace owner is unavailable.

Options

  • -F <filesystem> - Extend workspace on specific filesystem
