The Summer 2019 data was stored alongside the earlier KaonLT data. The  data can be found in -
21
22
* /mss/hallc/spring17/raw/ - Raw data for 2019 PionLT run
23
* /mss/hallc/kaonlt/ - Analysed data
24
* /volatile/hallc/c-kaonlt/ - Temporary analysed data
25
26
Access to these directories is via the "c-comm2017" group

30
For the 2021 PionLT run, a new group was created, along with numerous new directories -
31
32
* New unix group: 'c-pionlt'
33
* New Farm/Auger project: c-pionlt
34 7 Stephen Kay
** Use this Project name for simulation (and later analysis) jobs on the Farm
35 1 Stephen Kay
* Disk resources:
36
** /volatile/c-pionlt/ - directory, 6 TB high quota;  2 TB Guarantee
37
** /group/c-pionlt/ - directory (100GB quota)
38
*** snapshotted hourly; backed up automatically, use for analysis scripts, etc.
39
** /work/hallc/c-pionlt/ - directory (1TB quota)
40
*** NOT backed up in any way
41 5 Stephen Kay
*** Has some small-file/performance benefits (but this doesn't really apply to hcana/podd analysis)
42 6 Stephen Kay
*** Not super useful in a modern workflow (mostly historical), but it's there if you want it.
43 1 Stephen Kay
*** Not intended for rootfile output or to store extra copies of CODA files, etc.
44
*** Good for large source code bases (that are 'backed up' on an external git repo, for example)
45
*** OK for modestly sized simulation output perhaps, though /volatile is still best.
46
** New Tape/disk allocations:
47
*** /mss/hallc/c-pionlt/raw - tape volume for raw data output
48
*** /mss/hallc/c-pionlt/analysis - tape volume for analysis output
