Check the quota

To check the quota for your project you need to impersonate the Service Account holder of the project.

  1. Log into lxplus with your Primary Account
  2. Impersonate the relevant Service Account by obtaining a kerberos token:
    kinit <your-service-account>
    
  3. Run the eos command:
    eos root://eosproject.cern.ch quota /eos/project/<initial>/<project-name>
    

In the example, project "swanee" is using the quota as follows: 9.81 MB of the allowed 1.00 TB; 78 files of the allowed 1.00M files:

[swanee@lxplus701 ~]$ eos root://eosproject.cern.ch quota /eos/project/s/swanee
# pre-configuring default route to /eos/user/s/swanee/
# -use $EOSHOME variable to override

By user:

Note that until you obtain again a kerberos token for your Primary Account, any further command you issue in that lxplus session will be executed with the Service Account's credentials.

It is possible to define the EOS_MGM_URL=root://eosproject.cern.ch variable beforehand. In which case, you would not need root://eosproject.cern.ch in the EOS command.
