Disk Quotas

If you try to log in and the system immediatly kicks you back out you are most likely over quota on your disk usage.

To check your quota, type quota -v You should get output that looks like this

Filesystem     usage  quota  limit    timeleft  files  quota  limit    timeleft
/bhd/home       4844  25600  25600                254     -1     -1
The USAGE number is how much you currently have in use, the QUOTA number is your total allocation. As long as USAGE is less than QUOTA, you are OK.

The 2 most common reasons for exceeding quota are Netscape cache and desktop trash folder.

  • Netscape cache
    In order to delete your netscape cache, do the following
    • cd .netscape
    • cd cache
    • pwd MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU ARE IN THE .netscape/cache DIRECTORY
    • rm -R * THIS DELETES ALL FILES, BE VERY CAREFUL
  • Desktop trash
