As announced, any impact on users should be minimal. Some may notice minor changes in their GLADE file space quota reports as a result of block size adjustments in /glade/u/home directories. The block size for the home file space,
as noted here, was increased from 1 MB to 8 MB, while the sub-block allocation changed from 32 KB to 16 KB. This was the result of a change to new hardware. Most users will notice a small space savings as a result.
