Disk Usage:
The disk space in our array is finite and since it is shared by everyone there
is a need to limit space per user. We have a system installed that nightly
checks to see if people are within the limits. Should you go over the
limit you will be sent email notifying you. You will be given at least 5
business days (M-F) to take care of your files. If you are still over the limit after
the alotted days then your account will be deactivated until we can work
something out. Note: your files are not deleted, you simply won't be
able to log in. Accounts will not be deactivated on weekends. See the Systems Administrator if you need help in reducing your
disk space usage.
Steps for Reducing Disk Usage
Sometimes people don't even realize they are using an exorbitant amount of
disk space.
Guidelines:
1) Delete what you don't need.
2) Compress what you want to keep but may not use for months or years to come.
3) Move to other media, such as CDROMs, those files you may never need while at the
university but simply don't want to delete.
If you have any questions about the department's computing policies, contact the systems administrator.
