Quotas are supported by default in the RH kernels. Here is the step by step from RH site. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/admin-primer/s1- storage-quotas.html If you are using ext2, you must enable journaling first since it is not default until ext3. Steps to create disk quotas
In order to use disk quotas, you must first enable them. 1. Modifying /etc/fstab 2. Remounting the file system(s) 3. Running quotacheck (quotacheck -avug) 4. Assigning quotas (edquota) Example /etc/fstab /dev/md0 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/md1 swap swap defaults 0 0 Example edquota Disk quotas for user ed (uid 500): Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/md3 6617996 6900000 7000000 17397 0 0 Jessica Schieffer * (201) 248-3566 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eve Atley Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 2:01 PM To: 'Peter'; 'Ray Olszewski' Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: Setting quota on user's home folders? Sorry about not including system info: it's RedHat 9 ATM (to upgrade to RH Enterprise 3). >I noticed, on running ` locate quota` , that these lines appear in my output I ran this too, and it came back with this: (truncated) /etc/warnquota.conf /usr/bin/quota /usr/sbin/edquota /usr/sbin/quotastats /usr/sbin/repquota /usr/sbin/rpc.rquotad /usr/sbin/setquota /usr/sbin/warnquota /sbin/convertquota /sbin/quotacheck /sbin/quotaoff /sbin/quotaon So, I'm wondering if it's already in my system. - Eve - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
