Hello all,
I'm having problems getting quotas to work on my DU40b boxes. I'm
probably doing something incredibly dumb but I can't figure out what.
Here's the story:
I have options QUOTA in the kernel config
I have rw,userquota in /etc/fstab
I have QUOTA_CONFIG yes in /etc/rc.config
I have used quotaon to activate the quota system
quotacheck -a reports nothing wrong
I have a proto-type user who's quotas WORK!
I have used edquota -p protouser -u username to create quotas for other
users but they don't appear to work. Here are the results from edquota
and quota (mrmoore is my proto-user and 0010755 is the account I'm trying
to enable quotas for):
Quotas for user mrmoore:
/usr/students: blocks in use: 28, limits (soft = 0, hard = 10000)
inodes in use: 14, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)
Quotas for user 0010755:
/usr/students: blocks in use: 28, limits (soft = 0, hard = 10000)
inodes in use: 14, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)
Disk quotas for user mrmoore (uid 10000):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/usr/students 28 0 10000 14 0 0
Disk quotas for user 0010755 (uid 10003): none
The file system I'm using is UFS but I'm having the same problem with
another Alpha box with ADVFS file systems. The accounts giving me trouble
are all student accounts with numbers for a login name. I've had a little
trouble with this in the past (particularly with RCS) where DU pukes on
logins that start with a number but since a few of these accounts are
actually working with quotas I think it must be something else. Thanks
in advance for all your help. I'll summarize.
