RE: [Cs-club] Linux account quota

["Jonathan Steinert" <hachi@kuiki.net>]

you can use du(1) to print off a tree of space usage in your folder. I'd
recomend using it something like this:

du -h | less -S

of course, read your manpage on usages. This should help you figure out
where the heck all your space is being sucked up. I've also read rumors (not
sure about the truth behind them) that quotas can be hard to get your usage
to drop. I would trust du(1) to be pretty accurate and report any problems
with quota if your reported usage is wrong.
