[Year 12 IPM] HDD usage by teachers

[Michael Torsello (Mr)]

We had the same problem. Just these holidays, we implemented what I consider reasonable restrictions: 100Mb for students, 500MB for teachers. The limits should depend on the number of students and teachers and the size of the HDD.
 
We immediately found that there were about 6 teachers who were way over the limit, one had over 5 GB.
The new policy will stop them saving anywhere on the server until their total files are under the limit. One teacher cleared 1 GB in a day - no problem once there is an incentive.
 
These 6 have been advised to delete old files and burn important files to a CD.

Hi,
We are running out of space on our server due to a policy of
unlimited space given to teachers. I'd appreciate it if anyone
could pass on what the policy is at their school re teacher usage
of hard disk space on the server. What is a reasonable amount these
days for an average teacher? 50 MB? 500MB
Thanks.
