Organizing Directories#

File System on KLC#

  • Home directory

    • /home/your_netid/

    • 80 GB

      # Quick check of home directory usage
homedu

    • Note: The 80 GB quota is a strict limit. Many common issues with logging into KLC or running software are caused by running out of space in your home directory. We strongly recommend storing only essential scripts in your home directory and using the project directory (described below) for research-related work.

  • Project directory

    • /kellogg/proj/netid/

    • Each KLC project directory will have a strict capacity limit, or “quota”. The default quota for each directory is 2 TB.

    • The current price for additional storage is $195 per TB for up to 5 year of access

    • Email Kellogg Research Support (rs@kellogg.northwestern.edu) if you want to create a project directory or share directory with collaborators

  • Check usage of space at current folder
