Users and groups of users on Hoffman2 only have access to a predefined amount of disk space.
- After quota is reached, your account (or all the accounts of the group) will have reduced capabilities since you won't be able to make any new files.

Keep yourself apprised of how much data you are using with these tools.

Clean Up After Yourself
Every so often, some spring cleaning is useful. We have an app for that.
clean_me.py
- Available to everyone in the FMRI usergroup on Hoffman2, this script was designed to find certain types of pesky files that have been known to build up over time but aren't actually necessary:
- .DS_store files
- Empty directories
- tsplots
- Empty files
- Extended Attributes
- mat files
- and it gives you the option of deleting them.
When it Hits the Fan
You tried to remember to clean up your files, you even kept a large dataset on your computer last weekend instead of working with it on Hoffman2. But still your quota, or your group's quota was reached. How does one fix this?
- First things first, run
clean_me.py - Start identifying what you can delete. This is a wonderful opportunity to audit your home directory to see what really is in the directory called temp-567 and what you actually put in the file subjects-az-list.
- Tar things up. That is to say, take that huge collection of DICOM files and turn them into a single file to cut down on overhead. Unfamiliar with what tar is? Check out the Tar Tutorial.
