DISK
QUOTA EXCEEDED
This common problem occurs due to the
utilisation of all disk quota allocated to your particular account. A
direct consequence of this is the inability to successfully log into
a CSE terminal.
To
resolve this problem follow the steps listed below on any of:
the
booking terminals located throughout the CSE laboratories (there are
two located outside the Help Desk, ME undercroft, two in Elec Eng
Building labs).
terminals
in CSE laboratories but you must choose Failsafe
Terminal Session on the login screen.
Log
into the booking/failsafe terminal using your CSE username and
password:
Book
login: <your CSE usename>
Password:
<your CSE password>
At
the BOOK> prompt
type:
shell
At
the prompt type:

This
gives you a list of the biggest
files and directories in your account. The vast majority of over
quota problems can be solved by the removal of any such files or
directories. To remove files, use the `rm’ command:
rm
filename
To
remove a directory and all its contents, use the `rm –rf’
command:
rm
-rf directoryname
Upon
removal of all such large files or directories, you should confirm
that your account is once
again below disk
quota:
rquota
You
may be able to solved your over quota problem by compressing your
files, directories using tar and gzip. Please refer to
the basic unix & linux commands brochure for further
instructions.
Once
you are satisfied that you are below disk quota (as indicated by the
unit under blocks) type:
exit
to leave the xterm console (and
logout the Failsafe Terminal) and
exit
again to leave the BOOK>
prompt.
You
should now be able to successfully log into an undergraduate CSE
machine. If you experience further problems please come to the Help
Desk, Mechanical Engineering Undercroft, G03 or email
