So, options are:
This is bad for us because this is individual per job, and deleted when the job finishes. We would like to keep building on old results, if they are applicable.
So, about $USERWORK: From this webpage: https://www.uio.no/english/services/it/research/hpc/abel/help/user-guide/data.html
All users also have access to a directory /work/users/username, where username is the user's user name. The purpose of the directory is to stage files that are needed by more than one job. Files in this directory are automatically deleted after a certain time. Currently, they are deleted after 45 days, but that can change in the future. There is no backup of files in /work/users/. Please note that this area is not meant for storage of data. If attempts to avoid the automatic deletion are detected, counter measures will be applied, which could include removing the user's area alltogether.
Thus: the way nextflow works is to softlink between directories inside of work. Thus this is the best, because I can work in one directory on /work (which we should), also all the linking happens within one disk drive (which is what nextflow likes).
Solved.
We are running out of disk space on work, so we need to figure out where to have bifrost run to ensure that things go full.
