• Attention:
  • we are not running a company, we are just a research lab, we do not have any IT or Operation & Maintenance engineers
  • our NASs are not Enterprise Data Warehouse and we do not have disaster recovery backup
  • please do not load data to gpus from /media/NAS* directly
  • when you train models, please transfer data to corresponding workstations, every workstation has large local HDD or SSD (path: /media/hdd or /media/ssd, use command "df -h" to check the path)
  • only use NAS for dataset/models/projects backup

How to set up NAS?

• please refer to Teams Path: Team notes

Datasets overview

• please refer to Teams Path: Team notes
  • before you download any dataset from the internet, check Teams notes in case repeated storage (save NAS space)
  • once you save any new dataset on NAS, please remember to update the Teams notes
