Using the BITBUCKET locker What is BITBUCKET and how do I use it? The bitbucket locker is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for any inconvenience. There is far more space available in temporary storage on your local workstation than in the bitbucket locker, so you may wish to use that for short-term storage of large files, such as data sets. (See the "Using temporary storage on local disk" answer in the "Workstations" topic for more information.) You are strongly encouraged to use the temporary storage on workstations for storing files, however please note that since the Athena root password is available to every Athena user, you should also avoid storing confidential or sensitive information there. If you need additional storage for private data, you can contact Athena User Accounts to obtain a quota increase, or you can archive the data to CD-R or CD-RW discs. (See the "Making CD-R and CD-RW discs on Athena" stock answer in the "Workstations" topic) Historical Note: There used to be two lockers - the "bitbucket" locker, which was an NFS locker, and the "bitbucket2" locker, which was an AFS locker. In May 2003, the NFS locker was retired, and there is now the bitbucket AFS locker. The "bitbucket2" locker is now a symbolic link to the "bitbucket" locker - files can be accessed through either path. Also note that when the locker was an NFS locker, it was possible to protect files from being accessed by other users by use of the "chmod" command. This is no longer the case. If you come across documentation referring to the NFS bitbucket locker, please bring it to our attention by e-mailing ostock@mit.edu. Last Modified: $Date: 2005/03/04 17:52:47 $ |
