File Access and Storage

 


Once you are logged in, you will have access to the following network drives (Vet Students really only have the X: drive now and no longer will have a U: drive):


V: (department drive) points to your department’s shared area. (This is primarily for graduate students and faculty)
W: (cvm-dfs) A list of all available department and labs shares. You may not have access to view into each folder.
U: (netid) points to your user area
X: (Students) points to the student area, including a folder for Scratch (not everyone will have this drive)

 


Warning: Every Sunday, the server checks the dates on the files in the scratch folder. Anything that hasn’t been modified for MORE THAN FOURTEEN (14) days is automatically deleted.
