* Please check your [https://login.bwidm.de/user/index.xhtml Personal data] to verify that you are still a valid user.
* BwUniCluster: [[Registration/bwUniCluster]]
* In the same view, verify that the required entitlement is present:

In short: your "Entitlement"
* If the entitlement is missing:
* BwUniCluster: you need the [[bwUniCluster Entitlement|Registration/bwUniCluster/Entitlement]]

See the two links above to learn how to check if you have the entitlement.
** bwForCluster: check whether you are still a member of a Rechenvorhaben

If the entitlement is missing: please check with the local support of your home university (the university where you study or are employed)

In case the entitlement is present:

* BwUniCluster: Check if you answered the [[BwUniCluster_2.0_User_Access#Step_C:_Fill_out_the_bwUniCluster_questionnaire|Questionnaire]].
* BwForCluster: Check if you are an active [https://zas.bwhpc.de/shib/info_rv.php member of a compute activity] and the "RV" hasn't expired.

There are two resources with limits enforced by quota:

* number of inodes (files).

It is important to identify the main sources that consume these resources.

* Size: List all directories (and files) in your home directory or workspace sorted by size

Descend in a directory with a large reported size and repeat until you find large files that are worth taking care of.

* Inodes:

<code>
du -s --inodes .[!.]* * | sort -n

This will only count inodes in subdirectories. Also make sure your top-level (e.g. $HOME) directory aren't full with hundred thousands of files:
'''Q: I am running out of space in my home directory.'''
