With NFS, quotas are set up on the server's underlying filesystem. You then run rpc.rquotad on the server (which the Fedora nfs init script starts by default). I just set up quotas on my home NFS server (which is still running F9). I had to reboot to get them enabled on the filesystem (probably could have unmounted/remounted and then restarted NFS services, but this box reboots in under a minute anyway). I can see them with the quota command on the NFS client, and they are enforced. If you want to edit quotas remotely, you have to use the -r option to edquota. This also requires adding the -S option to the rpc.rquotad call (in /etc/sysconfig/nfs on Fedora), but only works in rpc.rquotad was compiled with that support; the version in F9 and F10 was not, but F11 includes this support. None of the other quota commands (such as quotacheck, quotaon, etc.) work on the NFS client, because those operate directly on the local filesystem only. All of this works fine for me between an F9 NFS server and an F11 NFS client, except for the rpc.rquotad -S option (which should work when I get the NFS server upgraded). -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
