I've been using GMail for a couple months. I've noticed I have been holding steady at 9% of my disk quota and my quota seems to constantly be going up. Is everybody at 9% or does everybody get (as of 11am 12/14/07) 5730MB?

Everyone's quota is constantly going up.

I find it interesting that I'm staying at a constant 9% used even though my brother in law keeps sending me movies of my nephew. I'm curious if everybody's is the same or if some have more disk space than others.

My 2 accounts:

You are currently using 568 MB (9%) of your 5754 MB.
You are currently using 665 MB (11%) of your 5757 MB.

Of course, those accounts pretty much keep duplicate copies of the same messages, with one account just having a few the ohter doesn't...

Current space estimates for GMail accounts are as follows:

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 08:00:00 GMT, 6283 MB
Sun, 17 Jan 2038 08:00:00 GMT, 43008 MB
Mon, 08 Aug 2118 03:06:00 GMT, 4.94065645841247*10^324 MB

That last one is pure nonsense, because it's greater than the number of individual particles in the observable universe (by a long shot), but that's what their javascript says on their page. Well, actually it says "Number.MAX_VALUE", which is approximately that value in javascript. :)

Additional: On a side note, I was reading about the ZFS filesystem the other day, which uses a 128-bit storage system (meaning that its max handling capacity is 2^128 bytes). Somebody said that to fully populate such a filesystem would require more energy than it would take to boil the oceans. Somebody else apparently said that they were talking out of their ass. So some dude over at Sun sat down and proved it: http://blogs.sun.com/bonwick/entry/128_bit_storage_are_you . Okay, it's 3 years old, but still entertaining to those of you with a nerdish bent. :)
