How can I check the quota on another locker or user?

There are two ways to check the quota of a locker on Athena.

afsquota

The simplest way to check the quota of any AFS locker, regardless of whether or not it is attached, is to use the "afsquota" command in the consult locker.

joeuser@athena:~$ athena% add consult
joeuser@athena:~$ afsquota lockername

  
Note: Be sure to fill in the correct information for lockername.

For example, to check the quota on the sipb locker:

joeuser@athena:~$ athena% add consult
joeuser@athena:~$ afsquota sipb
Locker Name                   Quota      Used %Used
sipb                         500000    156771   31%

The quota command

To check the quota with the "quota" command, you must first attach the locker. For example, to check the quota on the consult locker:

joeuser@athena:~$ attach consult; quota -v -f /mit/consult
Disk quotas for joeuser (uid 17261):
Filesystem          usage    quota    limit       files    quota    limit
/mit/consult       139800   150000   150000 << 

93% of the disk quota on /mit/consult has been used.

If you receive an error like this:

Error getting AFS quota: /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/o/joeuser: Permission denied

you will need to use the afsquota method listed above.
