[MITgcm-devel] Re: Home Space full

[David Ferreira]

What about setting up quotas on the
home space disk ?
Considering that any empty space is automatically
filled up, the problem is probably going to reappear
in 6 months even if some home directories are moved
to an empty disk, no ?
Quotas would at least create a place where it is
(almost) never possible to have a full disk,
which, for example, would avoid loosing pieces
of code because vi cannot close (a very personnal
plea at this point you'll note).
Quid ?
