Directory Structure

Magellon expects three top-level data directories plus a services directory.

magellon/
├── home/       # Generated files
├── gpfs/       # Data imports (mounted as /gpfs inside containers)
├── jobs/       # Temporary job storage
└── services/   # Service-specific working state

Paths are passed into the containers via environment variables — see Environment Settings. Keeping these directories on fast storage (SSD, local GPFS) has a measurable impact on import time and job throughput.
