User Quotas

User Quotas

Every user on the cluster is limited in the amount of data they may store. The value that determines the amount of storage space is a user's quota. It is important for users to be aware of these values as the system will prevent all future writes as soon as this storage limit is reached or exceeded. Note that this may occur in the middle of a job and prevent that job from writing its final values to disk.

A user can run the showquota command to display file usage on the system:

$ showquota

Your current disk quotas are:
Disk                               Disk Usage      Limit   File Usage      Limit
/home/NetID                              121K        50G           42         5M
/scratch/user/NetID                     11.3K       200G            7        10M
