I am having a problem with quotas on our systems. This must be a common
problem, since I've just searched the archives and found many QUESTIONS
about this but no answers.
I have the quota enabled for our /home volume, which appears as the
following in /etc/fstab:
home_dmn#home /home advfs rq,userquota,groupquota 2 0
If I do an 'edquota' on a user whose home directory is on /home I can
see the quota as we have it set. BUT, the user can not see their own
quotas. The 'quota' commands return
% /usr/sbin/quota
Disk quotas for user testme (uid 107): none
% /usr/sbin/vquota
Disk quotas for user testme (uid 107): none
%
If I try to use lots of disk space on user 'testme' I get the following
messages:
/home: write failed, user disk limit reached
/home: warning, user disk quota exceeded
So I know that the quota is being enforced, but the user has no way
to determine their disk allocation short of trying to use it all up.
The permissions on the /home/quota.user and /home/quota.group are 640:
-rw-r----- 1 root operator 32768 Oct 19 1995 quota.group
-rw-r----- 1 root operator 2097152 Nov 3 01:45 quota.user
Changing it to 644 makes no difference.
We are running DU 4.0. We have had this problem previously with
earlier versions of DU as well.
Does anyone have a solution?
TIA
