I have just encountered a problem with setting a large quota and it appears that the code must be using just 32 bit arithmetic!
I set a user to have a 10 gigabyte quota and the user was treated as being over-quota with just 10 megabytes. I presume there will be problems if I set a quote of over 2 gigabytes which is the 32 bit limit. Can anyone clarify the situation?
Yes, both the quota limit and quota usage are limited to 32-bits. Cyrus 2.3 uses 64-bits (long long int) on systems that support it.
I wonder if this is still true for 2.2.10. I set my quota to 3 GBs and it seems to work OK:
cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> sq user/a0620 3000000 quota:3000000 cyrus.rrz.uni-koeln.de> lq user/a0620 STORAGE 297144/3000000 (9.9048%) [EMAIL PROTECTED] imap]$ quota user/a0620 Quota % Used Used Root 3000000 9 297163 user/a0620
Am I missing something?
The limit is measured in Kbytes where the usage is measured in bytes. So, while you can theoretically set the limit to 2TB (2GB * 1KB), the usage is still limited to 2GB (32 bits). Did I explain this clearly? Reading it myself, I'm not sure I did. ;)
