Looking at /home on mire now, it seems we already have about 20 GB allocated, which should certainly be enough with 5 MB quotas for each member of some subset of users. I almost wonder why more of that wasn't put into /usr, instead, which is already at 27% of capacity before we've even started installing packages requested by members. Since I'm not an admin, I don't want to make any decisions regarding partitioning. I leave it up to cclausen+docelic+mwolson to figure out how to reapportion disk space, if at all. I think it does make sense to give members local disk space on demand, so we should just make sure to have enough space on /home, which we already seem to have; and lots of space for AFS cache certainly sounds good from my generally-AFS-ignorant perspective. _______________________________________________ HCoop-SysAdmin mailing list [email protected] http://hcoop.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hcoop-sysadmin
