How can I recover from file deletions because of disk space abuse?
If you get the infamous ‘auto deletion’ of files because you exceeded the limit… (a) read the mail you were sent more closely. (b) have a look at the .login and .cshrc files in /nyx/skel, as yours were probably deleted. (Only applies if you use csh or tcsh; you’ll need to recreate your own if you use a different shell.) [Yes, .login & such files are deleted too, since some folks just don’t get it, hide big files there, etc.] As for restoring files from backups, see the faq question for why the answer is ‘no’…
