Actually, the soft quota is 10GB, the hard quota is 20GB. You can exceed 
your soft quota for a maximum of 7 days, but the system will never let 
you exceed your hard quota.

The idea about the relatively small quota on /home is to give the user an 
"incentive" to actually use the storage filesystems instead of just 
dumping everything into one's home directory.

The command "quota" will let you know how you're doing on your quota.
