gull04 and jlliagre are most probably correct. If you need a place to store stuff, here's what you can do in the mean-time:
Check the diskspace of /tmp and /var/tmp. Use df:
If it appears there is sufficient space on one of these, make a directory for yourself and create a soft-link to it.
Now you can store files via the "tmp" link in your home directory.
Be sure to clean it up and/ore move it back once your admin has freed up disk space for you.

I keep getting an error on my site that says:
The server is a 250gb dedicated server so I would have thought I had more than enough space. What does this actually mean and can I increase the disk quota?
Thanks (0 Replies)
I keep on getting an error on my site saying
I've got a 250GB dedicated server, and have used less than 200mb of that.
The site has only been on the server for just over a month.

There is a special problem for my unix. Disk quota exceed.
I use quota -v to check that I almost run out of my quota(I use 45M, limit for me is 50M).
However, I try to use du -sh * to locate my file, it shows me that I only use 9M. I'm wandering if there is something wrong. (3 Replies)

xfs_estimate
xfs_estimate(8) System Manager's Manual xfs_estimate(8)NAME
xfs_estimate - estimate the space that an XFS filesystem will take
SYNOPSIS
xfs_estimate [ -h? ] [ -b blocksize ] [ -i logsize ]
[ -e logsize ] [ -v ] directory ...
DESCRIPTION
For each directory argument, xfs_estimate estimates the space that directory would take if it were copied to an XFS filesystem. xfs_esti-
mate does not cross mount points. The following definitions are used:
KB = *1024
MB = *1024*1024
GB = *1024*1024*1024
The xfs_estimate options are:
-b blocksize
Use blocksize instead of the default blocksize of 4096 bytes. The modifier k can be used after the number to indicate multiplica-
tion by 1024. For example,
xfs_estimate -b 64k /
requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using a blocksize of 64K (65536) bytes.
-v Display more information, formatted.
-h Display usage message.
-? Display usage message.
-i, -e logsize
Use logsize instead of the default log size of 1000 blocks. -i refers to an internal log, while -e refers to an external log. The
modifiers k or m can be used after the number to indicate multiplication by 1024 or 1048576, respectively.
For example,
xfs_estimate -i 1m /
requests an estimate of the space required by the directory / on an XFS filesystem using an internal log of 1 megabyte.
EXAMPLES
% xfs_estimate -e 10m /var/tmp
/var/tmp will take about 4.2 megabytes
with the external log using 2560 blocks or about 10.0 megabytes
% xfs_estimate -v -e 10m /var/tmp
directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize
/var/tmp 4096 792 4.0MB 10485760
% xfs_estimate -v /var/tmp
directory bsize blocks megabytes logsize
/var/tmp 4096 3352 14.0MB 10485760
% xfs_estimate /var/tmp
/var/tmp will take about 14.0 megabytes
