Dear CMS team,

My suite (u-co441; UM vn10.7, NEMO vn3.6) runs on the ARCHER2, but I got the an error due to “Disk quota exceeded”.  
Although I had already deleted unnecessary files, it does not work well. How can I fix the issue?

The error is:

BUFFOUT: Write Failed: Disk quota exceeded

FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Error Flushing Buffered Data on PE 0  
FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Status is 1.0  
FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Length Requested was 524288  
FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Length written was 1024

???

? Error code: 1  
? Error from routine: portio2a:flush\_unit\_buffer  
? Error message: Failed in output\_buffer()  
? Error from processor: 0

Hi Kenji

Your quota has been increased to 10TB. Please note that ARCHER /work disc is not suitable as a long-term data store.

Hi Grenville,

I appreciate your assistance. I also deleted several old folders in my archive directory just now.

Thanks
