Hi !
All quotas are persistent throughout NFS mounting as long as the client is
running the rpc.rquotad. This also goes for DigitalUnix and AdvFs
user/group quotas.
Hi !
Uncomment the rquotad/1 line in /etc/inetd.conf and do a 'kill -HUP
inetdpid'

Subject: Re: NFS mount and quota
I looked into this some time back, but elected not to implement quotas so
I can't give you any real data. However the idea is that a quota is a
feature of the filesystem, so if you want to use quotas on your NFS
clients, your NFS server must export a filesystem built with quotas.
That's not enough though; the client must also be aware of the quota, so
you mount the filesystem with quotas as an option ( -t nfs -o rw,quota or
something similar). *Should* be real easy. I don't know what kind of
performance hit you'd take with this.
I have seen several NFS-related questions on the list involving systems
using v2 and v3 NFS. Many of the reported problems seem to go away when
using only v2 or only v3, something you might consider if that arrangement
is an option for you. Not being an NFS guru, I don't know of any
compelling reason to prefer v3 over v2. We've used an arrangement like
you suggest for some time now (v2 NFS) without a hitch. Perhaps someone
on the list could address the v2/v3 differences if there's general
interest.
Cheers,
Kurt.
