Adding quotas

OUT OF DATE as of 2008-11-01.

Steps: (from http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/admin-primer/s1-storage-quotas.html)

1. Modified /etc/fstab entry for /home and rebooted:
   /dev/md0 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
2. Run:
   quotacheck -avug

   If that fails, can try:
   quotacheck -avugcm
   

3. Added the quotacheck command to /etc/cron.weekly with the script:#!/bin/bash
   # Update the database that keeps track of quotas
   # Created by Mark Knight (4.13.06)
   # Modified by Mark Knight (5.06.06)
   quotaoff -a
   quotacheck -agum
   quotaon -a

   exit 0

4. Set user quotas:
1. Command:
   edquota knightm
2. Disk quotas for user knightm (uid 500):
   Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
   /dev/md0 1420 512000 1000000 126 0 0
   This sets a soft limit of 512 MB on the user “knightm,” with a hard limit of 1 gig.
5. Check limits on quotas with
   repquota /home
