Updated FAQ on storage spaces
The FAQ has been updated to describe all storage spaces available on PlaFRIM and the quota command to display their usage and limits.
Update for the squeue command
All,
Users are now allowed to use the squeue command on the devel nodes
through sudo, to display information about all jobs.
sudo squeue
squeue is the only command for which information about all users will
be made available to all, as its information are not a breach to the
GPDR related constraints.
Cheers,
The PlaFRIM team
