BwFileStorage rdata

Access to the Filesystem bwFileStorage from HPC-Cluster

Users of the filesystem bwFileStorage can furthermore transfer data to bwUniCluster, ForHLR, IC2 and HC3 via the tool rdata. Therefore the environment variables $BWFILESTORAGE and $BWFS are set.

The command rdata executes the filesystem operations on special "data mover" nodes and distributes the load.

Examples:

>rdata "ls $BWFILESTORAGE/*.c"
>rdata "cp foo $BWFS"
 

The command

>man rdata

shows how to use the command rdata.
