I'm using a VS2 6.0R workstation, with eurydice as my fileserver.
This afternoon I went over quota. When I logged out, it said that I
had 7.0 days to fix my quota. This evening I logged in, and tried to
retrieve my mail. My quota had already expired:
Disk quotas for mar (uid 17822):
Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft
/mit/mar 7674 6964 8356 EXPIRED 498 3482 4178
and I lost all of my mail. So there's a bug in the NFS server that
expired my quota without waiting a week, and movemail in emacs has
never been fixed to detect that it didn't really write my mail file.
