Disk Storage Quotas

Users in the CSB Core Laboratory are limited to 350 MB of disk space in their home directories (/srv/people/username/). You can see your disk usage here by typing:

quota -v

this should give you something like the following reply:

Disk quotas for fleming (uid 3501):
Filesystem    usage   quota   limit    timeleft  files   quota   limit
/srv/people   73244  100000  120000               2438       0       0

In this example ~73 MB have been used. The user is allowed to go over 100 MB (up to a limit of 120 MB) but if disk usage is over 100 MB for 7 days the user will not be allowed to write to disk until files are deleted to below 100 MB total usage.
