The VM https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:I-0000073a is running Wikidata Query (WDQ). It currently uses disk space in /home, which is less than ideal. I would like some disk space (dedicated or shared) to use for this purpose. 16GB should do easily for now, more won't harm :-) Thanks, Magnus
Project administrators can enable per-project storage from the manage project link on the sidebar.
You can put stuff in /data/project (ideally in subfolder, since it's shared)
No, I can't: magnus@wikidata-wdq-mm:~$ touch /data/project/testing touch: cannot touch `/data/project/testing': Permission denied
magnus@wikidata-wdq-mm:~$ groups wikidev project-bastion project-wikidata-dev project-analytics project-tools
So, could anyone give me permissions to write to /data/project? Please?
/data/project is mounted storage and appears to be owned by root. This is apparently how it is supposed to work, per chat on #wikimedia-labs People in the project can sudo and then create a directory. Then you can change the permissions for it.
Thanks, that worked!
