QUOTA doubt
 

Hi guys,

In my system filesystem store below the format.
cat /etc/fstab

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hd3 swap swap defaults 0 0


if i create quota for my userid for what ? which one i type usrquota.
plz explain.

I'm not sure if you're asking "Why should I set a quota for my user id?" or "How do I set a quota for my user id?"

If you're asking the first question, you should set a quota if:

• Your disk space is small
• Many people are using your system
• You are charged for the storage you use
• You might use too much space whilst playing with your system

If you're asking the second question, have you looked at the man setquota command description?
