There are no quotas for the data space. The data space is shared by everybody using the same filesystem (main base directory). So before putting more than ~5 TB on any filesystem, make sure there is enough space free! You can check the usage of any mounted filesystem with the command 'df'. For example:
    df -h /filesystem
If you see the usage of a filesystem is greater than 95% let me (winger.katja@uqam.ca) know, please!!!

/transfer

/transfer is only to be used to transfer files into or out of the internal servers to/from machines which are not accessible from the internal servers directly. After the transfer is finish, all files are to be removed from /transfer.

/transfer is the only filesystem which is accessible from all external servers (the hoppies) as well as from all internal servers.

All users have a directory on /transfer.

Memory

The memory is shared by all users using the same server. This is why we ask you not to use more than 64 GB in total at any given time. You can check the available memory with the command:
    free
You can check and monitor the usage of your own processes with the command 'top'. For example:
    top -u ${USER}     # You can use the command as is. The variable 'USER' is defined by default and set to your username.
Once 'top' opened press the key 'M' (capital) to sort the processes according to memory usage instead of CPU usage. Look the the column 'RES'.
