The CERN Advanced STORage manager is designed to handle the huge storage requirements of LHC. The main storage for data is tape, handled by robots. Any data that you want to access needs to be mounted ('staged') onto an experiment owned scratch or stage area ('pool'), which you can then use from your jobs. If you have an account at CERN, you can find your private CASTOR space under /castor/cern.ch/user. Full details are at the CASTOR project site, where you'll find user manuals etc. See Also LSF.
