Please let me add a little hint to make your Gimle login node experience
a bit smoother:

If you are copying/moving large amounts of data, for example in order to
evacuate these filesystems, please consider allocating a compute node
using the "interactive -N1" command and do the copying on that node. In
that way, you get the full network performance of that node for your
transfers, and it will not affect the things you do on the login node.
