How can I check or increase my disk quota?

If you see a message (at login, or when you attempt to save a file or email message) that says:

"disk quota exceeded"

then we should increase your disk quota on socrates.

To check your quota of disk space, type quota then return at the socrates prompt:

socr:<1> quota <ret>

You should see this:

Disk quotas for user jdoe (uid 3930):
Filesystem      blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
/home/socr/c    2952     3000    3100            451     1300    1500

To request a disk quota increase on socrates, please contact SACS:
