Quota
 

HellO ..
i need help about quota .....i compiled the kernel (2.4.20-8) .and i followed the regular steps .but i miss something in quota concept ...
So i need a clear example please...
i've 2 users in my System how to give each one of them the same amount of blocks and inods ...and how do i know the amount of blocks and inods in /home...and can i edit the quota for many users with a script ...
thank you ...:scratch:

you probably should read the edquota (edit user quotas) manual page

i #edquota -u to a user here but my problem IS that i made the quota (soft) in each of blocks and inodes ...as the used space in the /home/user (i wanted to see what'll happend ) i thought that if i just copied any more files it should stop me or popup any message ..talking about my /home/user limit ..........U see what i mean ???...

probably the quota mini howto will answer this for you
