The Mill home directory storage is available from an NFS share backed by our enterprise SAN, meaning your home directory is the same across the entire cluster. This storage will provide 10 TB of raw storage, limited to 50GB per user. **This volume is not backed up, we do not provide any data recovery guarantee in the event of a storage system failure.** System failures where data loss occurs are rare, but they do happen. All this to say, you ** should not ** be storing the only copy of your critical data on this system. Please contact us if you require more storage and we can provide you with the currently available options. | The Mill home directory storage is available from an NFS share backed by our enterprise SAN, meaning your home directory is the same across the entire cluster.
