2.1.3.1 Quotas

The AFS file system has per-volume disk space quotas. To examine your quota and the current usage, use:

On UNIX systems:

fs listquota path

fs lq path

path is the pathname of a file or directory in the volume

Disk quota and amount used are reported in 1K Byte Blocks. The percentage used of the volume quota and the file server disk partition holding that volume are also reported.

On Windows NT systems:

• Right-click on a directory, and use the AFS | Volume/Partition  | Properties menu; or
• In a command window, use the fs listtacl command:

  fs listquota path

  fs lq path

  path is the pathname of a file or directory in the volume

  Disk quota and amount used are reported in 1K Byte Blocks. The percentage used of the volume quota and the file server disk partition holding that volume are also reported.

2.1.3.2 Recursively Copying Files and AFS ACLs

On UNIX systems:

Use the up command:

up srcdir destdir

srcdir is the source directory, destdir is the destination directory.

Note: if destdir does not exist, it will be created. if destdir does exist, it will be the new directory. For example:

up olddir newdir

makes a copy of olddir, named newdir

mkdir newdir; up olddir newdir

makes a copy of olddir, named newdir, not newdir/olddir
