[SOLVED] setting quota

project.linux.proj · 04-09-2013, 04:26 AM

Hi,

I want to setup quota on /data/COMP. I have Redhat 6.3 Etnerprise server. Below is the /etc/fstab entry given. The volume is a LVM.

========/etc/fstab========

/dev/mapper/vg-LogVo /data ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2

Getting below message while setting quota on

$ sudo quotaon -vug /data/COMP/
quotaon: Mountpoint (or device) /data/COMP not found or has no quota enabled.

Can anybody give me steps to acheive this. I want to allocate 100 GB space on this folder for all users.

Thanks,

you also have quotas set to use /data, then you want to run quotas on /data/COMP.Put in the fstab /data/COMP then remount the drive and then

#quotacheck -cugm /data/COMP

1)set the relevant quotas
#setquota -u or setquota -g

2)Then turn on quotas
#quotaon -a /data/COMP

Read section 7 here http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo...ion/index.html.
You can only set quotas on filesystems/partitions/mount-points; you cannot set quotas per dir.
In your case this means /data, not /data/COMP.
Quotas may be set per user or per group.
