Why doesn Olin just buy more disk space?
We will continue to add disk space over time to accommodate student needs. However, we find that much of our storage growth during the course of a semester is due to students saving personal files to the network that belong on laptops or home computers. Music files, movies, pictures, programs downloaded from the Internet, even backups of laptops often consume a great deal of space on the server. These files not only use up space that could otherwise be used, they also impact our nightly backups and system performance. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping them on your home system or laptop.
