Regarding your old and new home directory
Your home directory from the old NOTS cluster can be found temporarily on the new NOTS cluster at /oldhome/$USER/. Files in that location are read-only, so you should not use the old home files directly, but you should copy any files you need into /home/$USER/ as soon as possible. At some point, the old home directories will be removed to allow us to clear out older hardware.
We recommend carefully considering what files to copy over. As an example, the following command would copy everything in your old NOTS home directory to your new NOTS home directory. Be careful as it could overwrite any changes you have already made in the new home location:
rsync -avx /oldhome/$USER/ /home/$USER
(Be sure to execute this command exactly as written, especially with regard to the placement of “/” characters.)
