Get disk quota when not administrator?

гm logged into uBuntu 14.04 LTS at the University. After several hours of working in nvcc (cpp compiler for nVidia CUDA C), editing .cu (CUDA cpp) and make поля in gedit I suddenly get в "Disk quota exceeded" ошибка.

Huh?

I searched онлайн and found that commands "df-h" and "du-sh" should шоу я my disk quota. But when I run either of these in Терминал, Терминал hangs and I have to kill it. гm assuming this is because I don't have rights to run these commands. There is не ошибка message, just в hang. Нормальный Терминал commands like "ls" and "mkdir" work умер.

The IT department have gone home for the evening... how do I correct this problem and/or see what my quota is?

UPDATE!

I had been searching for programming answers in Google Chrome... and had в few крах of Chrome just приор to this happening. I suspected temporary Интернет поля were part of the problem. So I переместите в few помещение поля, reloaded Chrome, cleared all history ("From the beginning of украл"), closed Chrome. Then tried the "quota" command suggested in the comments by @mark kirby (which failed due to not being installed)... then I tried "df-h" again and it worked! Don't think it was trying "quota" that did it. Perhaps I was so close to my limit that tmp поля required for "df" could not be created.
