- When nagios reports disks becoming full how is more disk space allocated and by whom?
- This depends on what type of disk

- NFS disk - see this list of which disk is used for what
- AFS disk - if it's one of the batch machines send email to unix-admin@slac.stanford.edu. Some useful afs commands: fs lq tells you how much disk space is left. If the disk is getting too full you can request a quota increase via the form afs quota.
- xrootd disks - contact Wilko, or Richard for more $$$
- This depends on what type of disk
- Nagios and Ganglia show a lot of status information. How are newbie shift takers suppose to use that information?
