Hello, I'm implementing a Samba file server as a PDC, and quotas on filesystems are working very fine. When a user clicks on a network drive shown on the "My Computer", it shows the amount a space given to that user or that share. here there is a confusion: keep in mind that the system quota will be reported automatically for the user space :"[homes] share, which is specific to the current user on the system. however for any other share on Samba server, there is a tag that should be added the configuration lines of that share, it is called "max disk size", which sets the largest disk size to return to a client. It does not affect actual operations on the disk. => check this link for further information : http://www.rxn.com/services/faq/smb/using_samba/html/ch08_06.htm
Quota should be implemented on the Linux file system, easily configured from the "/etc/fstab" file. Read the attached document on how to implement quota on linux file systems. Feel free to ask any other questions. I love the Samba community, keep on! regards; > hi, > > I have samba-3.0.3(PDC), FC2, and now, each of the mounted drive is showing > the maximum harddisk space on my machine. i scare my users will use up my diskspace. is there any way to build up a disk quota feature into the pdc? thanks. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > -- Alaa Nizar Network and System Administrator Phone : 0021269437087 Web site: http://www.iihem.ac.ma
