There is no possibility to do the first solution. The second, regarding drive mounting, is it ram drive? If so, How to mount it ? Anyway, I am looking for a way to make my file system read only. That will surely, be the best solution. My application is writing into certain folder, not on the physically / File system, So I can make the / FS read only, Do you have an idea how can I do that ? Lots of questions, but I am really appreciate your help ! Thank anyway.. -----Original Message----- From: David Fierbaugh [mailto:david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 9:16 PM To: Sion Khalaf; linux-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Quota for root ? That seems like a bad idea, even if it is possible. I'd suggest having it direct it's output to another process running as a different user. Then you can use quota for that user. And if it did fill up the device, you'd still have root's reserved % to keep the system at least partially functional. Or, create a file of a set size, and mount that as a drive, then record the data to that file, then you have an exact limit on the amount of data recorded. I'm sure there are quite a few other creative solutions, those are just the two that popped into my mind as quick fixes.
