[Labs-l] No space left on device - bots project

[Petr Bena]

we should likely make symlink "bigdata -> /data/project/users/`whoami`" in
each $HOME in bots project automatically to prevent confusion though. Keep
in mind that labs are still kind of beta, or they were beta recently, if
there is anything broken, fix it! including documentation and help pages
