Dear Hernando,
Your system has virtually no disk space allocated. We tend to configure
such systems with one SSD for all software and swapping area, and a
large RAID array for the data processing. Since the raw data sets we
work with nowadays easily exceed 1Tb, you will need 10-20 fold that
amount of space for processing of each project. I would thus serious
look into adding a 20+ Tbyte of local RAID array (as Steven also suggested).
Cheers
Marin

I receive many emails per day and, although I try,
there is no guarantee that I will actually read each incoming email.
Moreover, our Spam filters can be strikt and sometimes make
legitimate emails disappear (try the gmail accounts, alternatively)
