* `/acfs/users/username`: your ACFS directory; backed up daily; read-only on the compute nodes
* `/old_lustre/home/username`: your old home directory on the old Lustre; read-only
* `/old_lustre/scratch/username`: your old scratch directory on the old Lustre; read-only

You will also have a `~/ACFS` shortcut/symbolic link in your home that points to `/acfs/users/username`.

If you are looking in your `/old_lustre/home/username/Scratch` symbolic link, that will direct you
back to your **new** Scratch not your old Scratch because it uses an absolute path. Please make sure
to access old Scratch using `/old_lustre/scratch/username`.

**What you will need to do (after the maintenance):**

* After login, you will notice that your new home and scratch directories are mostly empty.
Please copy any data you need from your old home and scratch directories under `/old_lustre` to
the appropriate new locations.
- E.g. `cp -r /old_lustre/home/username/data /home/username` will recursively copy your old
`data` directory and everything in it into your new home.
- E.g. `cp -rp /old_lustre/home/username/data /home/username` will recursively copy your old
`data` directory and everything in it into your new home, while preserving the permissions.
* Any data that you consider important enough to be backed up should be copied into your ACFS
directory instead.
* You have **three months** to copy your data. After this, the `/old_lustre` will become unavailable.
