To prevent this should I put numcopies in 2? 5. This data is composed of input datasets and output simulations. Thus, I need to change them often, but not as often as code and in a very partial way (chunks of 50Mb). For me direct mode is the best (or plain git). However, I was wondering, it is possible to drop some files (even in direct mode) and use simlinks instead?
