To check the disk quota on your NAS compute resources home directory (or nobackupnfs2 directory), run the quota ‑vs command.

To check the file quota on your Lou home directory, run the quota ‑vs command from a Lou front-end system (lfe).

To check the disk quota on your NAS Lustre (/nobackup) directory, use lfs quota as follows:

% lfs quota -hu your_username /nobackup/your_username

You can also check quotas and usage for both $Home and Lustre (nobackupp) filesystems on the Data page in the myNAS portal. For more information, see Using the myNAS Portal.

For more information about these filesystems and about quota policies, see the following articles:
