How to enable quota on

GiotisSL · 03-23-2008, 02:51 PM

Hello,

How can i enable the quota on ?

I see that only 0.2M are used and I have up to 10G.

Can anyone help me ?

Are you sure you want to turn it on? By default (ie quota is off), you'll have unlimited (whole disc) to play with.

Yes,
I have a dedicated server with cPanel/WHM and I see that the accounts do not show the used-free space.

Edit /etc/fstab like:

Code:

LABEL=/home  /home  ext3  defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2

remount the filesystems or reboot

create quota files for each filesystem

Code:

quotacheck -acug

assign quotas

Code:

edquota username
edquota -g groupname

turning quota off for all or for certain filesystems

Code:

quotaoff -avug
quotaoff -vug filesystem

Read the man page and the documentation for everything else.

Hope this helps,

Yeah thank you.
I try all the steps and I turn the quota off.
But I have the same problem.

cPanel of the domain:

Stats
Main Domain example.com
Home Directory /home/example
Last login from *.*.*.*
Disk Space Usage
1109.91/∞ MB
Monthly Bandwidth Transfer
244.04/∞ MB

I login to ssh via root and i type

Quote:

cd /home/example

then I type

Quote:

du -h

...and I see that I upload up to 18G.

Whats the problem ?
