Every effort is made to provide all users with the disk space as they require.
However, the total amount of disk space will always be limited and you should try to use as little as possible. If you reach your quota you will not be able to create or extend files. Undergraduate quotas will only be altered if a specific course requires it, in which case the course tutor should liase with the Computing Service. How To Monitor Your Disk Usage You can monitor your own disk usage in a number of different ways depending upon the type of machine you are using. This will report your usage and quota in the same way as the UNIX version of the command, e.g. Using Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer Most PCs and all NT Workstations will also report the amount of free space you have left before you reach your disk quota in the status bar along the bottom of the Windows File Manager or Explorer.
