ops home directory moved off of /ligo
WP5658. Jim, Jonathan, Carlos, Dave:

The ops account home directory has been moved from /ligo/home/ops to /opshome/ops. The new location is a partition on a new 2TB disk drive on the NFS server cdsfs0. I have found three uses of this home directory:

the ops account on the operator workstation*
the VerbalAlert system
the Lock Logging system

Operator0's local ops account was changed to use the new home directory. Corey is testing this by logging in as ops. The verbal alert system was changed earlier, see alog. The lock logger runs on nuc0, this code was modified to use the new path and the source code is now ran out of the new location.

To prevent any unknown systems from writing to the old location, I have made /ligo/home/ops read-only.

* the operator workstation was a "loaner machine" called opsws9. Today Carlos and Jonathan permanently renamed it operator0.

I should add that the reason for the change is to ensure the ops account continues to function if the /ligo file system fills up. This is a temporary fix until we replace cdsfs0 with a new NFS server with more disk capacity. We hope to install the new server soon after the conclusion of O1.
