Check Filesystem Quotas

Check Filesystem Quotas

You can check your quotas on the filesystems with the r_quota command.

For example:

> r_quota
                        ------------ Blocks ------------- ------------- Files -------------
Object                    used   soft   hard        grace   used   soft   hard        grace
/home/ab123456             53G      -   250G            -    64K      -  1024K            -
/work/ab123456             26G      -   250G            -    67K      -  1024K            -
/hpcwork/ab123456          97G  1000G  1100G            -    47K  1024K  1088K            -
/hpcwork/ab123456(ssd)     17M  1024M  1088M            -      -      -      -            -

Here, the columns in the section Blocks show the used and available storage space, and the columns under Files show the number of files that you have and that you are allowed to have.

You can also use the following command to check the filesystem quotas for a given computing project:

r_quota -u <project-id>

Note: that this works only if you have UNIX read permissions on the involved directories. All quotas are so-called tree or directory quotas. All files stored under a directory are accounted, no matter what their UID and GID are, i.e. even files that do not belong to you count towards your quota usage if they reside in your home/work/hpcwork directory.
