You will see a number representing your individual storage usage in your /home directory on the "user" line above the 100GiB quota on the "directory" line. Also, if If you’re using /n/scratch3, you’ll see a line for your personal usage in your sub-directory within /n/scratch3/users. Some labs/cores have group directories under /n/scratch3, so that information will be reported if you’re a member of such a lab or core.

Note: It is against RC policy to artificially refresh last access time of any file located under /n/scratch3.

For more information on scratch3, please refer to the dedicated scratch3 wiki page.

If you are a member of a group directory, you'll have a line for your usage above the "directory" line showing all group members' usage.

The quota data is updated on an hourly basis. You can tell how recent the data you're viewing is from the timestamp at the bottom of the quota output. It is possible to hit a quota limit (e.g. in your home directory or your group directory) but not have the output from the quota command reflect this problem for about an hour due to the information being periodically updated.

scratch3 quotas

For data on /n/scratch3, you need to use the scratch3_quota.sh command:

Code Block
$ /n/cluster/bin/scratch3_quota.sh
Directory: /n/scratch3/users/m/mfk8
Space used: 0TiB used of 10TiB
Files/directories: 1256 of 1000000

Note that "limit" is the total amount of space you are allowed to use. ("quota" is actually describing a "soft quota" where you get a warning but can still write. The /n/scratch3 filesystem doesn't use these.)

Note: It is against RC policy to artificially refresh last access time of any file located under /n/scratch3.

For more information on scratch3, please refer to the dedicated scratch3 wiki page.

Usage by Directory

Another way to check usage is to total the size of files in a directory using the du command. For example, you might want to see how much space your sub-directory in your group's shared directory is consuming:
