We're just starting to configure our Linux system and want to know how much space to allocate to the default home for a Studio user.  The question is: where will that be?  In the users initial login home directory or a subdirectory under that?  Or is it somewhere else?

 

Thanks,

epniv

Per default, the only thing that goes into a user's home directory is the SASUSER library ($HOME/sasuser.v94 directory), which will hold just a few K, maybe M, of catalogs. And, also per default, that library is read-only (User can't create datasets or similar in there).

But you need to be aware that users do have access to their home directory through code and other interfaces and can store things there. In order to prevent one careless user from wrecking everybody else's day, I recommend to set up a quota system in /home and where you put the WORK.

Many Thanks for some very valuable background information and the policy suggestion for /home?

 

Regarding the "$HOME" on the workspace server, which is the only server we have running v9.4, would that be create in one of the following?

/sasdata
/saswork (NOT THIS ONE) 
/sasdepot (NOT THIS ONE)
/sasconfig (NOT THIS ONE)
/sasuser
/sasem (NOT THIS ONE)
/sashome

That's what I though. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
