managing user/group Quotas (ext3 - XFS filesystem)
Hi,
I'm having trouble understanding setting up and managing quotas on an
ext3/XFS filesystem. Can anybody lead me to good detailed documentation on
using/managing quotas? The man pages just aren't helping me much.
I'm wanting to manage user and/or group quotas on my ext3 filesystem, and I
have aquota.user and aquota.group files in the right place, but as I'm
understanding it XFS filesystems don't even use/need these files, or do
they.? Also when I try the following:
~# setquota -u -F xfs username 100 105 0 0 /home (substituting username
with a real user of course)
I get Segmentation fault.
Also, how do I know whether to use quota.user or aquota.user files? I know
the first is for version 1 and aquota.user for version 2, but how do know
which to use, or even if I need them with an ext3 filesystem?
If I use ~# setquota -u -F vfsv0 username 100 105 0 0 /home , it seems to
work, but is that what I really need to use on an ext3 FS?
I greatly appreciate any and all help!!
Thanks,
Robert
