We now have a new command, myquota, that prints out the SeaWulf storage usage and number of files located in major directories you have access to, along with the limits of both. As SeaWulf storage space has limits on both directory size  and number of files stored, this command allows quick analysis on the cause of disk quota errors.

myquota, when ran without any flags, shows data on your home directory, scratch directory, and any project and class space that you are part of as follows:

[NetID@login2 ~]$ myquota
== NetID-home ==
Filesystem     GB      quota      limit |       files      quota      limit
mmfs1           6         20         20 |       61172     204800     204800

== NetID-scratch ==
Filesystem     GB      quota      limit |       files      quota      limit
mmfs1           1      20480      20480 |         204   10000000   10000000

== DoeGroup ==
Filesystem     GB      quota      limit |       files      quota      limit
mmfs1        3957       5120       5120 |     2038373   10485760   10485760

== AMS999 ==
Filesystem     GB      quota      limit |       files      quota      limit
mmfs1           3       1024       1024 |       12536   10485760   10485760

Alternatively, you can choose to print only one directory by adding a flag. For home and scratch directories, add NetID-home or NetID-scratch after myquota. For project directories,  add the name of the project space. For example, myquota DoeGroup displays the usage of DoeGroup project space, and myquota NetID-home, after replacing NetID with your lowercase NetID will show the usage of your home directory.

Understanding the Output
On the first line, the name of the directory is enclosed by double lines. On the second line, starting from the left, the storage usage  of that directory in GB is shown under the header, GB. The soft and hard limit on the disk usage in GB are shown under the header, quota and limit, respectively. The number of files you currently have in that directory is shown under the header, files. To the right, the soft and hard limit on the number of files allowed in that directory is shown under the header, quota and limit, respectively. On SeaWulf, most directories' quota and limit should match each other, so you should not have to worry about the distinction between them. 
Putting it all together, in the example of home directory above, the user has used 6 out of 20 GB and has 61172 files out of 204800 allowed. 
As you may encounter disk quota errors as you approach the limit on either size of data or number of files in a directory, it may be beneficial to monitor the number of files and sizes of files when dealing with a large data set or virtual environment.
