quota! but on the wrong fs :-(

[stefan]

Hi,
Got quota working on another web server and wanted to get it working on a 
development/shell server that is kinda new. I forgot that i needed /home mounted on 
it's own like 
/dev/ar0s4e /usr/home   ufs rw,userquota2   2
for example but i just have / mounted so now quota is set on /.
How can i fix this?

You'll have to set up quotas again from scratch on the new partition
-- you can't make the quotas on the root partition extend to cover
/usr/home.  It may be possible to script copying the actual file and
byte limits from what you've setup on the root and copy them into
/usr/home.

Turning off quotas on the root partition is pretty simple -- just edit
/etc/fstab to take out the 'userquota' mount flags, remount the root
partition:

# mount -u /

and then delete the quota.user file.

Cheers,

Matthew
