Home is often used by a variety of programs use store configuration files and directories along with some cached information. These directories can contain many files and use up quite a bit of storage. An example is vscode , which stores quite a bit of data within the .vscode-server directory located in $HOME . This directory can contain upwards of 1000 files and use on the order of 100 MB. This will impact your quota on home. We recommend moving such directories to a "fakeHome " directory in: /software/projects/<project>/<username>/fakeHome . Then generate a symbolic link in $HOME that points to the corresponding directory: Column |
