Working directories on AFS: up to 10GB in /afs/cern.ch/user/<initial>/<loginId> and up to 100GB in /afs/cern.ch/work/<initial>/<loginId>. You can set them from the Settings in the "AFS Workspace".
AFS will be phased-out in the future but it's not imminent.
Long term storage of files (e.g. simulation output) should probably be done in CERNBox, which is available from lxplus using the \eos mount point. Each user has access to /eos/user/<initial>/<loginId>.
XRootD protocol is also available for large transfers to/from eos (see docs).
Software on lxplus is commonly sourced from LCG. ROOT, Geant4 and HDF5 already available from there.
Batch system is HTCondor (see https://batchdocs.web.cern.ch/index.html). Authentication via Kerberos ticket. Unclear which filesystem is "visible" from the nodes: AFS or eos or both?
To do:
Steps needed to move development to lxplus:
[x] #41
[x] Figure out setup scripts and CMakeLists.txt dependencies
[x] Move GENIE input files to common eos or AFS areas, convert them to gst
