1616206 : kosinski group - gpfs owner change and future removal of user space¶

Created: 2026-07-10T09:34:29Z - current status: new¶

Summary: A research group leader needs to take over storage space from two former members whose accounts have been deactivated. The spaces (/gpfs/cssb/user/[USERNAME1] (6TB) and /gpfs/cssb/user/[USERNAME2] (1TB)) require ownership transfer to the group leader ([GROUPLEADER]) for review before deletion. After approval, the freed 7TB should be reallocated to the group’s shared quota (/gpfs/cssb/group/[GROUP]).

Anonymized Details: - Former users' directories: /gpfs/cssb/user/[USERNAME1], /gpfs/cssb/user/[USERNAME2] - Group leader’s Unix username: [GROUPLEADER] - Target group directory: /gpfs/cssb/group/[GROUP]

Solution: 1. Ownership Transfer: Admin should change ownership of the specified directories to [GROUPLEADER] using chown. 2. Approval & Cleanup: Wait for confirmation from [GROUPLEADER] before deleting the directories. 3. Quota Adjustment: Reallocate the freed 7TB to /gpfs/cssb/group/[GROUP] post-deletion.
