Riko UNIX Manual

About Home Directory

A directory is provided for each user to write freely. This directory is called the home directory. The home directory will automatically become available when you log in to the UNIX environment. If you want to check your home directory, you can log in and run the pwd command to see it.

/home01/user name
/home02/user name
/home03/user name
/homea/user name
/homeb/user name
/homec/user name

Disk capacity for home directory

There is a limit to the amount of disk space available for each home directory. This restriction is called a quota.

Students can use up to 1000M bytes (quota value) per home directory. Please note that if the quota value is exceeded, the user will not be able to log in.
