Troubleshoot DHCP

Posted 04-22-2010 at 02:35 PM by Mr. ameya sathe (Tantra Yantra Swatantrya)

Tags dhcp, lease, troubleshoot

Although your DHCP Server has been configured to assign a new IP address to a network machine;your DHCP client will retain its old IP address.
In such a case; clean out the Leases file on the DHCP Server and the DHCP Client side.

On Server side;

Code:

echo "" > /var/lib/dhcpd-*/dhcpd.leases

On Client side;

Code:

echo "" > /var/lib/dhclient/dhcp.eth0.leases

Quota stats reporting for existing users

Tags group, quota, repquota

According to documentation; you have followed the correct procedure for creating quota for a group as well as for a user. But; still the
repquota command is still displaying the quota value for soft and hard limit as zero.

The reason is that; unless & until a file owned by that by particular group or the user is created, repquota will not report the quota values for the said group and user.
Remember this file must be of non-zero value.

We refer to a file by its name. Computer refer to the file by its inode numbers. For every filesystem; there is an inode table. This table consists of Inode numbers & its correspondingmetadata. On the contrary; the mapping of filenames to inode numbers is stored in the directory containing the file.
To display the inode number of a file; say hindu one must issue the command
