Storage Quota

Checking your storage quota

Run storage_quota to see your current usage and limits across all allocations.

storage_quota

storage_quota is part of the KIR-utils module. If you see command not found, load it first:

module load KIR-utils

As a fallback, you can also check your group allocation directly:

df -BG /well/<group>

If your home directory is nearly full

Your home directory has a small quota and is not intended for large data. If it is filling up, take action promptly — a full home directory can prevent jobs from running and cause login issues.

To identify what is taking up space, including hidden directories:

du -h -d 1 ~ | sort -hr

This lists the top-level contents of your home directory in descending order of size.
