Shared Storage
A Logical File System (LFS) is usually a piece of a larger Physical File System (PFS) that serves a specific need for a specific user group. In case it as a network file system you could call it a share. In addition to LFS-ses for home dirs and the centrally deployed software and reference data the Gearshift HPC cluster has access to the following LFS-ses:
- Available prm LFS-ses: prm01, prm03
- Available rsc LFS-ses: rsc01
- Available tmp LFS-ses: tmp01
