How do I check my "quota" of used space?


When you are logged on to the orbhost server using Telnet, use the UNIX command "quota". The number of blocks used and the allowed quota will be displayed along with the grace period, if any. The blocks have a 1K size so if your account is set up for 10 Megs (about 10 million bytes) for example, then the allowed number of blocks would be 10,000 (approximately). The grace period for going over the quota is usually a few days. The quota is also expressed as two numbers, one is the "soft" limit, which allows going over the limit with a warning, and the "hard" limit which is the absolute limit to not go over. Having a warning by going over the "soft" limit allows to manage the space more efficiently, as you get a little extra space and time to get your usage under control.
