I’ve been a bad admin and it’s caught up with me. I’m moving some home directories to a new server and I looked at one of the problem users I have and was floored. I don’t have quotas on the current server, and this user thinks that disk space is only referring to e-mail quotas. His home directory is 69GB, and if that wasn’t bad in and of itself, 62GB is in his My Pictures folder.
89.5%.
He only has 60GB free on his desktop, so moving there is not an option. I’m going to tell him to get an external drive and we’re going to move his pictures there.
I’ve also learned my lesson. The new server will have quotas.
