Disk Quota Request - .::Mosaic Computing Environment::.

This form is used to request an increase in your disk quota allocation.

Check your disk quota: At a command prompt, enter: fs lq , this command lists your disk quota allocation and how much of that quota is used.
Disk quota: Each user's volume (home directory) has a quota assigned by the system administrator. This quota determines the maximum storage space allowed in the volume.
Actual Space: The amount of data currently stored on disk. The actual disk space used is typically less than the quota.
Over Quota: Condition which arises when a volume (home directory) has more actual disk space used than the volume's quota limit.
Over Quota Problems: Being over quota results in the operating system refusing to store any more data in the volume. A warning message is given at 90% utilization. Problems with printing saved files and with logging in can occur. Ultimately, you will not be allowed to login .

If you are given additional quota, that quota will automatically expire at a predetermined time. (Your data will not be lost.) If at that time you still need the additional quota, you have to re-submit a new quota request form
Students will need a faculty or staff member to sponsor their extra disk quota
There is no special form for an extension of previously alloted quota. All types of quota requests are handled using the same request form.
