Hi,

My suite id is u-db903, I get this error when running the suite. This suite is vn13.0 global model, I’ve run this for 2 days (with 1 day cycling time), the model ran for 1 day but crashed when executing the second day. I have 2 issues.

1. atmos\_main executed for the first day, but I can’t seem to find the output files anywhere, share/data/History\_data wasn’t even created.

2. atmos\_main crashed for the second day with the following error (is it possible to increase my quota)

BUFFOUT: Write Failed: Disk quota exceeded  
FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Error Flushing Buffered Data

FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Status is 1

FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Length Requested was 4194304

FLUSH\_UNIT\_BUFFER: Length written was 8192
