David:
Thanks for taking the time to report the problem you had when you
incorporated your mail into your locker. We're aware of the problem,
and we expect it to be fixed in our "new and improved" workstation
software which will be released over the summer. In the meantime, you
may want to exercise caution when using your filesystem if your
filesystem is always "almost full."
The "quota -v" command will tell you just how much quota you have, and
how much you've used (although "du -s ~" is probably a better
indicator of usage):
Disk quotas for henry (uid 12408):
Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft
/mit/henry 4030 5009 5209 1007 1333 1433
The "msgchk" command will tell you how much mail (both the number of
messages, and the number of bytes of mail) you have waiting on your
post office:
garp% msgchk
You have 1 message (568 bytes) on E40-PO.MIT.EDU
