All accounts in the instructional laboratories are assigned a pre-set limit to the amount of disk space the account can use. When this limit is reached, the system will allow no further files to be written. To check your current disk quota, you can use the "quota -v" command on all unix systems. Microsoft Windows users will see a pop up window at logon that displays their disk space usage.

Currently, College of Engineering accounts have at least a 100MB quota (CS undergrads start with a quota of 100MB and 4000 files). If you feel you need more space than initially allocated, you can request additional space for legitimate instructional needs only. To request additional disk space, please ask your professor or department to email authorization to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it (if you are a CS major) for the additional disk space and number of files.
