Checking Quotas

Home Directory Quota 

The $HOME directory on PDSF has a quota of 5GB and 50K inodes. If you are over quota, you will see the following message when you login:

YOU ARE OVER QUOTA, please clean up immediately!

Please remove some files and use the myquota command to make sure you are below quota. The above warning message will go away within 12 hours once you reduced your usage to below quota. 

Please Note: Your account might be blocked if you are over quota for more than 24 hours. 

myquota

To check your quotas use the myquota command, which by default reports space in GB.  To display in MB instead use the -M option:

pdsf4 51% myquota -M
            ---------- Space (MB) ----------  ------------- Inode ---------------
FileSystem   Usage    Quota   InDoubt  Grace    Usage     Quota    InDoubt  Grace
----------  -------  -------  -------  -----  --------  --------  --------  -----
home            338      675       15      -     20682         -        62      -
project       44869        -        0      -      4366         -         0      -
eliza13           0        -        0      -         2         -         0      -
eliza14      956763        -        0      -      9222         -         0      -
eliza15     1374923        -        0      -     12054         -         0      -
eliza3         1751        -        0      -     33353         -         0      -
eliza6         3903        -        0      -     18243         -         0      -
eliza8       135224        -        0      -      7004         -         0      -
eliza9        18214        -        0      -        55         -         0      -
common         2258        -        0      -     52800         -         0      -

Use the -u [username] option to specify a specific user or the -g [groupname] option to specify a specific group.  Note that "Usage" plus "InDoubt" is what counts against your quota.

getfsquota

Some file systems use filesets and then you need to use getfsquota and specify both the file system and the fileset:

pdsf4 102% /usr/common/nsg/bin/getfsquota eliza14 pwg
           ------ Space (GB) -------     ----------- Inode -----------
 Fileset    Usage    Quota   InDoubt      Usage      Quota     InDoubt  
--------   -------  -------  -------     -------    -------    -------  
     pwg     17155    17212       54     5892213          0     109949

pdsf4 103% /usr/common/nsg/bin/getfsquota eliza14 starprod
           ------ Space (GB) -------     ----------- Inode -----------
 Fileset    Usage    Quota   InDoubt      Usage      Quota     InDoubt  
--------   -------  -------  -------     -------    -------    -------  
starprod     11200    13374       16      329919          0      20983

prjquota

Note that myquota does not show your quota on NGF (/project).  To see the quota for a group on NGF use "prjquota [groupname]", e.g.,

pdsf4 65% prjquota alice
           ------ Space (GB) -------     ----------- Inode -----------
 Project    Usage    Quota   InDoubt      Usage      Quota     InDoubt  
--------   -------  -------  -------     -------    -------    -------  
   alice       191     1024        0     1579652    2000000          0
