disk quota problem

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I am executing following in the script file

cat rampIdent.CARE*.txt | rsort.exe -T $BULK_TMP_DIR > rampIdent.ALL.tmp.txt

The txt files are around 20 and each are of average size 60 MB.
rsort.exe is a program that combines and sorts the input given to it and writes output onto stdout which is redirected to a file.

I am getting the error "Disk quota exceeded" when I run this.
The quota is set on home directory which has a limit of 500 MB.
The script is run from home directory but the txt files and the final output txt files are created in project workspace where no quota is set.

what can be the problem?

You need to up the disk quota for your home directory.

Can you kindly explain me whats the need to increase home quota.
Though the script is run from home directory, within the script it changes the directory to the project area where the files to be sorted are present.
And in this area there is no quota set and the disk usage is also only 43%.

Thanks
