1. Q: I do not know all the limitations but if you create many spack instances in a project you can hit the quota regarding number of files, right?

   Answer: Yes, it is true. For this reason we provide “central” spack installation with most common software pieces already available (so called upstream spack instance). If you use spack module then you wouldn’t need to install everything in your own directory.
