How do I find out how much of my quota I'm using?

Remember that you have two different allotments of disk space? That means that you have two different quotas with Drizzle: your e-mail quota and your web space quota. (Of course, if you have more than one website hosted with us, each website has its own additional quota.)


Drizzle provides each of its users 10 MB of disk space on which to store e-mail. This quota may not be increased.

How much of my e-mail quota am I using?

Make a telnet or SSH connection to drizzle.com

Type sh to enter the shell.

Type quota

then hit RETURN. You will see a screen that looks something like this:

 
Disk quotas for user xxxxx (uid 0000):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/sdc1 13907 30720 61440   1316 0 0  
/dev/sda6 0 10240 20480   1 0 0  

The line that indicates your e-mail quota is /dev/sda6. The blocks column is how much of your quota you are using, and the first quota column is your quota. If you're using fewer blocks than your quota allows, then you are under quota.

To exit the shell, type exit

then hit RETURN. That should log you off the server and exit your telnet window. You may now quit the telnet application.


Drizzle provides each of its users 10 MB of disk space on which to store web files. This quota may be increased in 10 MB increments for a small fee.

How much of my webspace quota am I using?

The first step has two different options depending on the sort of web page we host for you. Do you have a web address like "www.drizzle.com/~fishie"? Then you need to make a telnet or SSH connection to www.drizzle.com. If you have your own registered domain name, and you address is something like www.fishie.net, then you need to telnet or SSH to www.fishie.net.

Type sh to enter the shell.

Type quota

then hit RETURN. You will see a screen that looks something like this:

 
Disk quotas for user xxxxx (uid 0000):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/sdc1 13907 30720 61440   1316 0 0  

The blocks column is how much of your quota you are using, and the first quota column is your quota. If you're using fewer blocks than your quota allows, then you are under quota.

To exit the shell, type exit

then hit RETURN. That should log you off the server and exit your telnet/SSH window. You may now quit the telnet/SSH application.

I'm over my quota. What should I do?
