Hello. I am just curious about how much space is really needed by one person when he/she compiles every single codes of brahms. (Well, maybe not all of them, but most of them. For example, brag, brat, brop, breg and a few other things.) Does anyone know? My guess is about 1 GB. Then, 2.5 GB is more than enough. (And, our home directory /direct/brahms+u is only 50GB used by about 50 people.) Obviously, people should start to use /home directory of each rcas machine. But, that directory is not backed up. (And, it is in danger of complete delete by itd in rcas update. Most of my things were used to be there until they deleted during the last update without any notice.) Also, can someone remind me which machine's home directory belong to "only" particular institution? I vaguely remember something like that for rcas0010 and higher???
