Problem With Quota Settings

tnjsaravanan · 10-06-2006, 02:38 AM

Hi

I am using linux ver 9 as file server(Samba).

I fixed user quota 50 MB per user.But the users are able to use more than 50 MB space.

It allows more space, but after some days they could not copy anything.Even after deleting some files and the file size is reduced to 25 MB, it doesn't allow the user to copy anything.

I want to set the user should not exceed the allocated space.

Any idea please?

what does

Code:

edquota -u joeuser

say?

or you can do it by group with the "-g" switch

Also check the grace period

Code:

edquota -t

Thanks doublejoon,

I have created the quota with command

edquota -u username

But, when the user map the folder in windows using samba server, the quota exceeds.

I want to restrict the user, should not exceed the allocated space.

Thank in advance.
