ws_extend - Extend Workspace Lifetime

Beyond the basic extension shown in the main Extend guide:

Options

• -F filesystem - Extend workspace on specific filesystem
• ws_allocate -x - Alternative command for extension
• You can shorten workspace lifetime even if no extensions are available

Group Workspace Extensions

Group members can extend group-writable workspaces (requires group write access ws_allocate -G):

  $ ws_allocate -x -u <username> <workspace_id> <days>

Replace <username> with the workspace owner's username. This is useful when the workspace owner is unavailable and the workspace needs to be extended.

Example:

  $ ws_allocate -x -u alice projectWs 30

This extends Alice's workspace projectWs by 30 days.

Notes

• Each extension consumes one of your available extensions (see Cluster-Specific Workspace Limits)
• The -u option is only available on some clusters (see cluster compatibility table in advanced ws_allocate guide)
