Assuming you've got your 100MB, there is a sequence of priorities you should use to get more space:
- You want backed-up space. /ai is the main filesystem that gets a regular backup. Like /faculty, it's under a quota system, but assuming there's space and your supervisor helps, you should be able to get 1GB or so by sending a message to
lci-help.

- You want reliable space (but maybe not backed up). There is a lot of space available in /lci/project/raid1 (and possibly elsewhere in /lci --RS). You should have write access to this disk, so you can create a directory and file away. Note that this space is NOT backed up, but it's a raid disk and failures are usually recoverable.
- Just give me some space! Assuming you have a desktop machine, you can use /var/tmp, which provides more space than the systems people have ever conceived of. The down-side is it's not backed up, your box could catch fire, be stolen, or any other number of calamities can strike. That said, you'll have total control over the space and the data.

[Correction, May 15/06: apparently raid1 is backed up. Good news.

Web hints
Your home page will be in ~/www/index.html (or ~/World/index.html) 100MB isn't much space for all your papers, photos, weblogs, public data, etc, etc, but you can extend this space by creating symlinks to other filesystems. |
