Frequently encountered blockers

SLURM is rejecting my jobs because my home directory is full

e.g. "home directory over quota" ,

We are limited to 40 GB of files in our home directories. This error indicates you have to many files.

Steps to diagnose:

1. Run showquota or myquota to see your file system space usage. If 'home' is 40GB or greater that's your issue.

2. Run du -sh * in your home directory and look for any large directories.

• Permanent Solution:

What to do if .cache is too large?

• Quick solution: Delete it! rm -rf .cache

  • Is this safe to do? Yes () but you may want to move a backup of the directory to a project directory if you're worried about it.
