where-is

name	where-is
description	Find a dataset, checkpoint, or file across every lab server — locations, sizes, duplicates. Use for "where is coco", "which server has X", or locating checkpoints and project directories.

Where is it

Input: a name or pattern. Search cheap-to-expensive; stop once found unless the user wants every copy.

1. list_datasets per reachable host — scan the top-level report for the name first; this covers most datasets with zero extra cost.

2. Not there → targeted find on the data roots, capped so slow NFS can't hang:

   for r in /data* /scratch "$HOME"/data*; do timeout 30 find "$r" -maxdepth 3 -iname '*<name>*' 2>/dev/null | head -20; done
   

3. Checkpoints and code: also try -maxdepth 5 under likely project directories learned from list_sessions cwds.

4. For each hit, get size and freshness (timeout-capped):

   ls -ldh <path>; timeout 60 du -sh <path> 2>/dev/null
   

Report

Table: host · path · size · modified. Note duplicates across hosts. If the user is deciding where to run something, also note which of the hosts holding the data currently has free GPUs (list_hosts) — data gravity. If nothing was found, say exactly where you looked.
