Some New World user-loginable hosts have a directory, /localstorage, which is available to some or all users as un-backed up persistent storage.

  • On general login hosts, this additional storage will be a separate storage volume mounted at /localstorage. Per-user quotas apply in this case.
  • On hosts which are not general login -- for example, a host on someone's desk -- /localstorage will typically be just a directory on the root file system. No quotas are applied in this case.
  • In all cases the storage is not backed up and its contents will generally persist until someone deletes the contents or the host breaks in some way. In other words, if it's in /localstorage and it's important it's up to you to back it up.
