Server :: Disk Quota (Exceeded But Unable To Restrict)
Jun 17, 2010
I installed Diskquota on CentOS 5.1 machine. I enabled quota for some user with 1 GB as both hard and soft limits, Grace period is 0. Every this is working fine if we work from normal user's login say (user1 who is a system user). If he exceeds 1GB its will restrict that saying quota exceeded. But, If root user copies some 500MB files into his workspace, and change the ownership of those files using following command
chown user1.user1 * ( * is 500 MB files).
Then quota is exceeded and it is showed using:
repquota /home
user1 +- 2039960 997020 997020 none 298 0 0
Here its showing as some 2GB.
Soft limit is 951 MB.
So, my problem is restrict quota from all possible ways, i.e., even if root does some copying and change permissions, it must tell that disc quota exceeded.

What is the best way to create a hard (OS) quota on disk space folders? Basically in web root folder /var/www/lighttpd I have a folder called domains. I want to set a quota on each domain folder. The quota sizes will vary per folder. Is there a way to do this without creating a user for every domain? Currently every folder is owned by the lighttpd user and group.

In our organization there are around 1000+ users are using mails. The mailing system is implemented under RHEL using postfix and dovecot. For user based quotas i have implemented Disk Quota. But the problem when i want to edit quota for multiple users with similar limits i'm doing "edquota user" for every users. It seems very difficult. Now I wanna know:
1. Is there any way to edit quota value for multiple users at a single shot?
2. Also there is any method to send alerts mail to the end users on disk utilization?

When going through my emails that are produced by the cron jobs ran on my Solaris servers, I am receiving a message that states,"/ is 50% full" what can I do to either lower the amount of data on this partition or raise the threshold limits to to stop this message? I would prefer to learn how to lower the amount of data on this disk to bring under my disk quota of 50% in order to stop these emails being produced by the cron job running on this server.

I am wondering if I can set diskquota on a nfs mount, instead of where the folder actually located.
e.g.
HOST1 - /dev/sdb1 /home
exports /home to HOST2
HOST2 - HOST1:/home /home
set quota from HOST2 for /home
Is this possible? I have not tried it, I wonder if anyone tried it.

I am writing a php script and I need to find the total diskspace of a directory. I have used space already. I have a couple of different users with quotas
Code:
$path = "/home/" . ($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']);
$used = exec("du -c -a $path");
echo $used;
Will give me the disk space used. But I need total quota for that user.

Relational databases usually have their data over in /var/lib/something. Users are in /home (with data in /var/www). How can I apply a single total disk space quota across all of these independent software systems (file systems, RDBMS, etc.)?
P.S. There's a bet going on around me as to just how awesome SU is. Let's see what you've got.

I am trying to enable quota on my /home directory for understanding how quota works. I have not made a separate partition for my /home. The logical name of the directory "/" is /dev/sda5 on my machine
[Code]...
I tried to search this on Google as well but didn't get any satisfactory results. I usually post questions only when I have do not get results by checking earlier threads on various forums. If you find I am going the wrong way then please show me the right track.

Running a server using CentOS 5.5 (yum updated, x86_64), found that when using /usr/sbin/useradd to create system user, the quota for the user will default set to 5M soft and 10M hard (on /var/spool/mail partition). As remember the default setting for user quota should be both zero when create a new user.
man useradd and quota related command and no help, had any idea how to change/set the default quota when create user.

I'm running ubuntu server 10.10 64 bit.
1. Set quota in /etc/fstab like this:
/dev/sdb1 /var/www reiserfs defaults,usrquota 0 2
2. Checked quotas:
# quotacheck -cavm
quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.
3. Tried to activate quotas using "quotaon -a" and got a segmentation fault error.
When I change filesystem to ext3 (using mkfs.ext3 and changing /etc/fstab) it works well. So there are 2 problems, quotacheck warning about journaled quota and the segmentation fault error.

I'm trying to set up quota limit in samba-3.0.33-3.15.el5_4.1 in CentOS 5.5, by means of the module vfs objects. In the samba howto [1] I found a very brief explanation, but it isn't working for me. The basic idea is to setup a user called 'quota2g' (uid 499) and setup the [homes] share, as it comes by default, to enforce the quota on each user share.quota2g:x:499:499:User quota 2GB:/home/quota2g:/bin/bash

I have some issue with my amanda backup server, which is connecting with Scalar Quantum i500 via FC. I got the error as below 3 days ago.
These dumps were to tape 000289.
*** A TAPE ERROR OCCURRED: [No more writable valid tape found].
Normally I will load the proper tapes and run the amflush to push stuff from the holding disk to tapes manually. However this time amflush in this case did not help, Amanda immediately responded with an out of tape error again.
Meanwhile I got some errors from dmesg as well
st3: Error 18 (sugg. bt 0x0, driver bt 0x0, host bt 0x0).

I have configured postfix on my server.
telnet mydomain.com 25
helo validdomain.com
mail from: validaddress@validdomain.com
rcpt to: validuser@mydomain.com
[code]....
When I run this test, as expected, the email is delivered to validuser. However, postfix also delivers it to user1 and user2 despite the fact that the sender does not belong to my domain. I have implemented client, helo and recipient restrictions as below. How do I prevent the malicious use of CC as described here?
Snap of main.cf
-------------------
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
reject_invalid_hostname,
reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org,
