X terminals

A number of X terminals is available in the Physics building and in the MPS control room. These include:

CPU resources

The main CPU resources are physgi03 and loki. Both systems have established CPU usage policies.

Disk resources

The following disks are available for scratch storage:

Note: there are no automagic backups of scratch disks. If a disk crashes, all the data on it will be lost. Disk users are expected to back their data to tape themselves as often as they deem necessary.

Tape resources

The following tape drives are available for use:

When reading E852 data tapes, make sure to always use the variable block device.
