Quota is set on your Home Directory. There is also a quota on extension directory. CSM (TA) users also have quota on their Unix Inbox mail.
How to check your Home directory quota:
To view the current status on Home directory do the following:
- SSH to CSA or CSM or CSL3 linux servers.
- invoke this command:
df -H ~/
The results will look like this:
For CSA users (Seggel) Home directory:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on uns40ns:/home_sg 20G 727M 19G 4% /home
The size is your current quota.
For CSD/M users (TA) Home directory:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on uns40ns:/home_ta 7.6G 292M 7.3G 4% /home
Check ( for CSD/M users (TA) only) Inbox Unix Mail quota :
Use command: quota -v -s -f /var/spool
Disk quotas for user YOUR_USER(uid YOUR-ID):
Filesystem space quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/mapper/centos-var
64732K 782M 831M 3 1000 1100
The space is what is used. quota is the soft limit. limit is the hard limit.
If you see a star * near the number of space, it means that you are over quota !
Getting to the hard limit will disable any use on your files. In this case you need to open request on IT Help Desk.
