Hello, I am having some trouble getting quota's to work. When I try to
set the quota for a user, it does not show up when I run repquota. I
am doing this on a Redhat (RHEL5) machine (I assume it is the same on
Centos). I think I am missing a step, but this is what I am doing:
(1) I add usrquota to the /etc/fstab file, then reboot
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2
(2) Verify /home is /dev/hda3
/sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/hda3 | grep volume
Filesystem volume name: /home
(3) Create the user quota file
quotacheck -cmu /home
ls –l /home/aquota.user
repquota /home
[root@mail ~]# repquota /home
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hda3
Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
Block limits File limits
User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
root -- 184224 0 0 4 0 0
12345 -- 208 0 0 49 0 0
54321 -- 172 0 0 40 0 0
(4) Turn on quotas
quoataon /home
(5) Add a user quota
setquota -u 12345 10000 11000 0 0 -a /dev/hda3
(6) Recalculate the quotas
quotaoff /home
quotacheck -amu
quotaon /home
(7) Check if the quotas are active
ls –l /home/aquota.user
repquota /home
[root@mail ~]# repquota /home
*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hda3
Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days
Block limits File limits
User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
root -- 184224 0 0 4 0 0
12345 -- 208 0 0 49 0 0
54321 -- 172 0 0 40 0 0
(8) Shouldn't the limits look like this: ???
User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------
root -- 184224 0 0 4 0 0
12345 -- 208 10000 11000 49 0 0
54321 -- 172 0 0 40 0 0
