VSFTPD & Quotas

DebianUser · 10-22-2010, 02:05 PM

I have a vps which i'd like to enable quotas on vsftpd and need some help, I know I need to edit /etc/fstab but my one doesn't look 'normal' ie no / or /home?

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0

so not sure where to add
defaults,usrquota 1 1

Also how do I add a user with a hard limit?

thanks

Seems like it might be an OpenVZ VPS. Have a look at /etc/mtab. You should see something like this:

Code:

/dev/simfs / reiserfs rw,usrquota,grpquota 0 0

If you don't see "usrquota,grpquota" then you won't be able to use quotas, and on OpenVZ you can't edit that disk configuration yourself. It has to be done on the host node by your hosting company.
