User Quota

Hi,

I would like to know how to enable user quota on my Debian install. Basically I would like to put a disk quota on the /home directory for my user.

Thanks for help.

Regards,

Kevin

I'll take a stab…

apt-get install quota

Then, read this:

Thanks for the information… I am playing and learning with it right now, hope to get it works.

BTW, whenever I mount a file system to /dev/ubde… I am not able to log in. The server seems to be just hanging …..

If I move whatever file system that I mounted to /dev/ubde to another one, like /dev/ubdf…. then everything works fine.

I am not sure if there is something I did wrong.. or not. But just would like to let you know about this.

Thanks for help.

Hmm – I just tested this with a Debian filesystem and a handful of ext3 disk images. No problems mounting on /dev/ubde, or any other ubd devices.

Did you reboot your Linode after adding the drive to the configuration?

Yes, I did a reboot right after. There could be something I did wrong…. I will give it a try again sometime to see if it happens again.

Is there any debug step that you would like me to run throguh in case this happens to me again?

Kevin
