Querying Storage Quotas

Outdated

This document is only valid for the old, third-generation file system and will be removed soon. Quotas of our new CephFS storage are communicated via the HPC Access web portal.

As described elsewhere, all data in your user, group, and project volumes is subject to quotas. This page quickly shows how to query for the current usage of data volume and file counts for your user, group, and projects.

Query for User Data and File Usage

The file /etc/bashrc.gpfs-quota contains some Bash functions that you can use for querying the quota usage. This file is automatically sourced in all of your Bash sessions.

For querying your user's data and file usage, enter the following command:

# bih-gpfs-quota-user holtgrem_c

You will get a report as follows. As soon as usage reaches 90%, the data/file usage will be highlighted in yellow. If you pass 99%, the data/file usage will be highlighted in red.
