Quota

Check your quota

To check your quota use the command 'csquota' which is just a wrapper script around 'quota' (because bugs). You should see something like this:

user@computer:~$ csquota
Filesystem                                  space   quota  limit  grace
server.cs.uchicago.edu:/export/homes/user    918M   2000M  2500M  15296

space	denotes how much space you are currently using.
quota	The maximum amount of disk usage a quota user has.
limit	Hard limit works only when grace period is set. It specifies the absolute limit on the disk usage, which a quota user can't go beyond his hard limit.
grace	The time limit before the soft limit is enforced.
