A blog about making HPC things (kind of) workAn HPC user found his local file system was filing up with data files. He asked me if he should get more storage. My first response was to ask him how he was using the storage server. He explained that he kept the result of his protein folding runs in the file system. Each directory was for one model and represented quite a bit of computer time. He wanted to keep the historical record, but had no need to use the data in his daily research.
