Check storage space on your SDA account

To check how much storage space you are using in your Scholarly Data Archive (SDA) account at Indiana University, use HSI from your account on one of the research supercomputers; for help with HSI, see Use HSI to access your SDA account at IU.

At the HSI command prompt (?), enter:

du -ka

In your terminal window, you'll see HSI quickly list every file in all your SDA directories; this may take a few minutes to complete if you're storing a large number of files. When the command exits, you'll see the total number of files in your account and the amount of used storage space (in bytes and 1,024-byte blocks), and be returned to the HSI command prompt.

To see the totals for a particular directory, at the HSI command prompt, use cd to move to that directory, and then enter the du -ka command.

For help with HSI commands and options, see the HSI Reference Manual. If you have questions or need help checking storage on the SDA, email the UITS Research Storage team (store-admin@iu.edu).

For current fee information, see "Scholarly Data Archive Storage" on UITS Rates for Direct-Bill Services.
