New user DISK SPACE limit


Hi,

Is there any default disk space for the users, even for root ? I tried to download some big files to the home directory, but after about 380MB downloaded, download stopped with an error message saying that there isn't any space left. But there is plenty of space in the disk. Is there a way we can set users with unlimited diskspace.

Please help

presumably your /home partition is full. run "df" to see where the free space actually is.

I got the same problem. The quota was turned off. I have no idea. Did you find the root cause ?

Apache can impose limits on the maximum size of files that it will consent to upload. That's a configuration parameter.

Since it doesn't know in advance how big the file is, it will terminate the receive process once the limit has been exceeded.
