Hello,
I do not want to use quotas on my machines. I don't have many users but
they are consuming A LOT of disk space.
I tried to use the 'spacegripe' progam that came with Nemeth's book, and I
even had to install Perl on my servers in order to run it. Unfortunatly,
this program uses 'quot' and quot does not seem to work on my system.
I've read the man page for quot, and it looks like it is intended to be
used on an UFS filesystem. I'm running ADVFS all over the place... When I
try to run quot, I get nothing or a 'device busy' message. The man page is
not clear, does the filesystem need to be dismounted before you can use it ?
Is there a good utility that I could use that would give me something like:
- Disk usage per user (in specific file system and accross all FS)
- Amount of disk space used by files not used since X days, months, etc..
- Same thing but per user
- Name the users using more than X bytes of storage
- etc...
This information would help me prove my point with my users + managment and
force them to clean their stuff.
Thanks
Other question:
I installed PERL 5.01 on my system, it it stone age stuff or it is OK ?
What is the best way to compile PERL (Or any Free Software) on a single
machine and install it easily on other machines ? Should I rebuild the
software on all the machines, for example, when I copied the perl source
tree to another machine (after building it) and issued the "make test" to
make the regression test on the other machine, some tests failed. Do I need
to reconfigure and re-install on the other machine ?
