I would like to ask, I am currently working on pipeline for my data and I would like to use the scratch storage for tests and playing aroung. I swiched to it and also I change storage for some of my histories (image is attached), but it is not store there (it is still on the default storage).
How long it take to switched, or is there anything else, I should do?
I see. Not 100℅ sure, but you might have to first get a bit under quota on permanent storage before you can run any jobs, even if the outputs would be put on scratch storage.
oh, I think, there might be some misundertandidng. My question is, why there is nothing on the scratch storage. There should be history (158 GB). Why is everything still on default storage?
Switching to scratch storage only affects the storage location of datasets created from that point onwards. Maybe that’s the cause of the confusion here?
No, currently the storage location of datasets is fixed once they’re created.
Moving them between storages is an upcoming feature in the next Galaxy release.
A workaround for now would be to run a Concatenate job with just one dataset, which effectively creates a copy of the dataset, then delete the original.
