How do I tell what my disk usage is?

To get a detailed listing of your quota usage type 'quota -v YOUR-USER-NAME' on a CoC UNIX system. This will show you:

% quota -v YOUR-USER-NAME
Disk quotas for YOUR-USER-NAME (uid xxxxx):
Filesystem         usage  quota  limit    timeleft  files  quota  limit    timeleft
/tmp_mnt/net/hu5   19422  20000  21000               382     0     0

This will show your quota on the disks you have been allocated space. If you do not see one of the disks listed, it is because the automounter does not currently have the disk mounted. If you cd into the directory in question, will mount it on your system. Now when you run quota you should see it listed.
