corral is a gigantic (multiple PB) storage system (spinning disk) where researchers can store data. UT researchers may request up to 5 TB of corral storage through the normal TACC allocation request process. Additional space on corral can be rented for ~$80/TB/year.

The UT/Austin BioInformatics Team also has an older, common directory area on corral.

A couple of things to keep in mind regarding corral:

...

Code Block
languagebash
titleGet ready to wget
mkdir -p $WORK2/archive/original/2021.core_ngs
cd $WORK2/archive/original/2021.core_ngs
wget 

Here are two web links:

Right-click (Windows) or Control+click (Mac) on the 1st link in your browser, then select "Copy link location" from the menu. Now go back to your Terminal. Put your cursor after the space following the wget command then either right-click (Windows), or Paste (Command-V on Mac, Control-V on Windows). The command line to be executed should now look like this:

Code Block
languagebash
titlewget to retrieve a web URL
wget http://web.corral.tacc.utexas.edu/BioITeamBioinformaticsResource/CoreNGS/yeast_stuff/Sample_Yeast_L005_R1.cat.fastq.gz

Now press Enter to get the command going. Repeat for the 2nd link. Check that you now see the two files (ls).

Tip

By default wget creates a file in the current directory matching the last component of the URL (e.g. Sample_Yeast_L005_R1.cat.fastq.gz here). You can change the copied file name with wget's -O option.

Also note that if you execute the same wget more than once, subsequent local files will be named with a .1, .2, etc. suffix.

Copy from a Copy from a corral location - cp or rsync

...

cp [options] <source file 1> <source file 2> ... <destination directory>/

Make a directory in your scratch Scratcharea and copy a single file to it. The trailing slash ( / ) on the destination says it the destination is a directory.

Code Block
languagebash
titleSingle file copy with cp
mkdir -p $SCRATCH/data/test1
cp $CORENGS/misc/small.fq  $SCRATCH/data/test1/
ls $SCRATCH/data/test1

# or..
mkdir -p ~/scratch/data/test1
cd ~/scratch/data/test1
cp $CORENGS/misc/small.fq  .
ls
