Disk Quota
Overview
Disk quotas are enabled on project directories. ALCF's HPC systems use the swift-home file system located at /lus/swift/home where quotas are also enforced. Theta has three project file systems available to user. Details on the home file system are listed in file systems. Following are descriptions and examples for the home file system, as well as the theta-fs0, grand and eagle project filesystems.
Home Directory Quotas
By default, each home directory is assigned a default of 50GB. File ownership determines disk space usage.
To check the home directory usage, enter this command:
> myquota
