Allocation and Storage Usage

Viewing Usage in the Shell

Each time you log into Frontera, you will see some information displayed before you are presented with a shell prompt on a login node. The output will contain a table with data on your allocation and storage usage. This output is also available using the /usr/local/etc/taccinfo utility:

$ /usr/local/etc/taccinfo
--------------------- Project balances for user <username> --------------------
| Name           Avail SUs     Expires |                                      |

------------------------ Disk quotas for user <username> ----------------------

The Lustre command lfs quota <filesystem> is a different way of getting the same information for any particular Lustre filesystem.

Viewing Usage at the TACC Portal

You can also view your current allocation status, as well as compute and storage usage, by logging into the Frontera User Portal and selecting "Allocations" from the sidebar menu, or by logging in to the TACC User Portal and selecting "Projects & Allocations".
