What are my AFS and Cyrus Quotas?

Your Cyrus quota is the space allocated on the local hard drive of one of the mail servers to be used for on-line storage of e-mail messages. Your Andrew File System (AFS) quota is the space allocated within the central Andrew File System for web and on-line file storage.

Each Carnegie Mellon student, faculty and staff member is allotted up to 2 GB of space for e-mail storage and another 1 GB of storage for files. However, the default allocation for Cyrus (e-mail) storage is 1 GB; the default allocation for AFS space is 50 MB. You may increase either of these allocations via the Quota Increase Web interface (from the My Accounts > My Andrew tab of the Carnegie Mellon Web Portal).
