 The home directory disk space (5 TB) on the clusters is served up via NFS from one of our data center NetApp storage servers (named filer3).  (Lets refer to those as "old home dirs"). We will be migrating off filer3 to greentail's local disk array.  The path will remain the same on greentail: /home/username. (Lets refer to those as "new home dirs").
-In order to do this, your old home directory content was copied over christmas-newyears break.  Since then, it will be copied weekly from filer3 to greentail's disk array.  When you create new files in your old home dirs they will show up on greentail's new home dirs.  However, if you delete files in old home dirs, and they have already been copied over, the files will remain in your new home dirs.  If you create new files in greentail's new home dirs they will **not** be copied back to your old home dirs.
+In order to do this, your old home directory content was copied over christmas-newyears break to greentail.  Since then, it will be refreshed //weekly// from filer3 to greentail's disk array.
+  * When you create new files in your old home dirs they will show up on greentail's new home dirs after a week.
+  * If you delete files in old home dirs, and they have already been copied over, the files will remain in your new home dirs.

+  * If you modify a file on greentail's new home dirs that //also// exists on the old homes dirs, you will loose your changes when the weekly refresh happens.
 To avoid a conflict between home dirs I strongly suggest you create a directory to store the files you will be creating on greentail, for example /home/username/greentail or /home/username/hp.
