problems with quotas
Hello,
I am having troubles with quotas on my linux box. I am running the
kernel 2.4.20:
[nc21] ~ > cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.20 (root@nc21) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian
prerelease)) #1 Thu Jan 9 15:31:41 CET 2003
with quota support compiled in:
#
# File systems
#
CONFIG_QUOTA=y
Following the bug-report
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=161430), I
took the quota package from testing (quota-3.07-1) and tried to set the
quotas on one partition:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump>
<pass>
/dev/hda2 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda5 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota 0 1
#/dev/hda6 /scratch ext2 defaults 0 2
Then (after a reboot) I've set the quota=150000,limit=180000, however the
system allowed me to reach 192444. Now, even if I delete many files:
[nc21] ~ > du -s
123220 .
quota -v still gives the very old status:
Disk quotas for user davidek (uid 260):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/hda5 192444* 150000 180000 2202 0 0
Please could anyone tell me what's wrong ? On another linux box (running
kernel 2.4.7 with the same settings as above and identical quota package)
quota -v also reports the maximal space occupied, however the grace period
started:
Disk quotas for user davidek (uid 1010):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/hda4 10008* 10000 15000 2days 103 0 0
(current disk space occupied is:
ipnp:/home/davidek# du -s
3692 .
In addition, this system didn't allow me to occupy disk space of e.g.
12000, which I think should be possible for a short time (am I right ?)
Thanks for any hints,
best regards
Tomas
