	These servers mount two types of storage; home directories and group storage directories. Your home directory will be located as "/public/home/username" and has a 30GB quota. The group storage directories are created per PI, and each group directory has a 15TB quota. For example, if David Haussler is the PI that you report to directly, then the directory would exist as /public/groups/hausslerlab. Request access to that group directory and you will then be able to write to it. Each of those group directories are shared by the lab it belongs to, so you must be wary of everyone's data usage and share the 15TB available per group accordingly.		These servers mount two types of storage; home directories and group storage directories. Your home directory will be located as "/public/home/username" and has a 30GB quota. The group storage directories are created per PI, and each group directory has a default 15TB quota (although in some cases the quota is higher). For example, if David Haussler is the PI that you report to directly, then the directory would exist as /public/groups/hausslerlab. Request access to that group directory and you will then be able to write to it. Each of those group directories are shared by the lab it belongs to, so you must be wary of everyone's data usage and share the 15TB available per group accordingly.

	On the compute servers you can check your group's current quota usage by using the '/usr/bin/viewquota' command. You can only check the quota of a group you are part of (you would be a member of the UNIX group of the same name). If you wanted to check the quota usage of /public/groups/hausslerlab for example, you would do:		On the compute servers you can check your group's current quota usage by using the '/usr/bin/viewquota' command.
