What is home storage?
Home storage is storage located in the XMission facility that is available to customers for shell, ftp, and web services via user.xmission.com.
How much storage is there per customer?
The base quota is 50 gigabytes. You can purchase additional gigabytes if needed.
How can I see how much quota & usage I have?
On shell:
/usr/local/bin/homequota
How do I access this storage?
You can use shell services, ssh/sftp, or ftp services to transfer files in and out of your home storage.
What are home snapshots?
Snapshots are a service that saves a state of the home storage every hour. Hourly snapshots are kept 24 hours. In addition, daily and weekly snapshots are made. Snapshots are useful if you accidentally delete or overwrite an important file. You can recover this file by going to /home/.zfs/(name of snapshot)/(original file location), and copying it out to your own home directory.
Keep in mind that until the snapshot of your deleted file expires, it will still count against your quota. There is no way to delete this without removing the snapshot for everyone. Files in snapshots are read-only.
