Remote storage (NFS shared)

This service is expected to be shutdown in december 2018. Please, use Nextcloud instead from now on.

Description

Network shared file storage by NFSv4. A backup of all data is made every night.

There are three types of storage:

  • Personal:
    • Private space with read and write permission for the owner.
    • 20GB disk quota, expandable if necessary.
  • Projects:
    • Shared space for a fixed number of users with read and write permissions.
    • 30GB disk quota, expandable if necessary.
  • Shared folders:
    • Similar to the projects share but manageable by each user in Carqueixa.
    • 7GB disk quota each folder.
  • Scratch:
    • Shared public folder accessible to every CITIUS user.
    • 1TB size without quotas.
    • Files are erased every 24 hours and no backups are made
