Quotas on SSH

Quota for your project

All projects are assigned an initial quota which will have been agreed with the project space PI. If you are unsure what this quota is, please ask your project PI or contact us.

Increasing your quota

If you are the project space PI and wish to have more space, please contact us using our support email address (researchdata-support@ucl.ac.uk).

Checking your project quota

It is currently only possible to check your project quota by directly "logging in" using an ssh client into the login nodes. If you know how to do this, then you can check your quota by running the following command at the shell prompt:

/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota -j <projectname> mmfs1 --block-size auto

e.g.

/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota -j ritd-ag-rdabcd-abcdefg mmfs1 --block-size auto

If you don't know how to do this, please send us an email at our support email address and we will tell you what your quota is.

Quota for your home space

The default quota for all home spaces is 1GB. This is purposely kept relatively small because we only have the resources to provide and support storage for research projects.  It is currently only possible to check your quota by directly "logging in" using an ssh client into the login nodes (as with project quotas). If you know how to do this, then you can check your quota by running the following command at the shell prompt:

/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmlsquota -u <username> mmfs1:homedirs --block-size auto
