Disk Quotas
Each user is allocated an initial disk quota along with their userid. This places limits on the amount of disk space a user's files can occupy.
The current default initial limit is:
- Disk usage (hard) - 5 Gb
Disc quota and usage information are provided via the "quota" command, available on the DPO terminals and Linux Teaching System servers.

user123 33M  5G  6%
Which means that user user123 has a 5 Gb quota limit and is using 33 Mb of this quota.
