Hi 

I created a experiment in my project , but the experiment fails to allocate nodes. throwing the below error message


You are over your disk quota at the target cluster, probably because of too many saved disk images. Please click on the 'Storage->My Disk Images' above and delete images you no longer need.
Over disk quota, please clean up

I have checked my Storage , and I do not have any Disk Images. I am not sure how to fix this and proceed. 
 Experiment URI : 
https://www.emulab.net/portal/status.php?uuid=27adf26b-4d04-11ee-9f39-e4434b2381fc


Please let us know , how can we fix this.

Thanks,
Naveenraj

Hi. You were over quota in your home directory which is NFS mounted. You
have very little space there, be sure not to write data files there. I have
bumped the quota a bit so you can get restarted.

Thanks for the help, The issue is resolved. I didn't realize it was due to my home directory space limit.

While I always take care not to write anything in home directory. Sometimes due to oversight and other tools using home directory has default, It fills up. 

Thanks,
Naveenraj
