Apparently, I did somthing which tried to save a large file to my AFS
homedir, which was too close to my quota.
The error message:
afs: failed to store file (over quota)
The quota values:
althea% fs lq .
Volume Name Quota Used % Used Partition
user.dkk 25000 24061 96%<< 62% <<WARNING
The error message gave me no idea what file had been lost, or what
process had lost it. With 7 shells in 4 xterms, an emacs with many
buffers (including RMAIL) and 2 zwgc's it's very difficult to tell
what's going on.
I finally figured out that when I killed my ttymode zwgc, which had
been sending output to a file (AFS), I ended up with a zero length
file rather than the real log file. I have no idea how big the file
would have been, but presumably it was larger than about 1 Meg. (It
had been running for about 26.5 hours.)
