 Launch the appropriate Singularity container in read/write mode (with the :rw flag):

-The above starts a bash shell inside the referenced Singularity Container overlaid with the 15GB 500K you set up earlier. This creates the functional illusion of having a writable filesystem inside the typically read-only Singularity container.
