My computer has over 800G free but I can't find that storage in the VitrualBox terminal....

Small unix lesson
A period "." is shortcut for the current directory
"df" is a utility for seeing how much free space is left on a file system. Unless quotas are involved which I am pretty sure they are not on the VirtualBox image distributed. At the Martinos Center quotas are involved with home directories, mail boxes and the /cluster volumes.
If you are in a directory and run
df -h .
you will see how much free space is left on the filesystem the directory resides on. For example, in my home diretory I run 'df .' and I see
| gate:~$ df -h . | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | homes:/local_mount/homes/011 | 287G 69G 219G 24% /autofs/homes/011
which means there is 219GB free space on the filesystem my homedir is on
But like I said home directories have quotas so I run
| gate:~$ quota -s | Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit | homes:/local_mount/homes/011 | 1746M 3907M 3956M 20004 0 0
and I see I am using 1.7GB out of my 4GB home directory quota.

Hi,
I am a research assistant and I'm new to Freesurfer. I am using Windows and downloaded the VirtualBox and Freesurfer. I was able to get through the steps on the website for "Testing Freesurfer". However, I get stuck when I am trying to download the sample data for the tutorials. In the directions for downloading the sample data, it tells you to find a directory with 100GB of space. How do I do that? It seems to me that there is no area in my directory which has any where near that much room. The computer which I am running on has over 800G free but I don't see how that relates to the terminal which I am using in VirtualBox. I am not familiar with Linux so I am doing my best to figure it out but I just can't see to find a way to download the data for the tutorials. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
