Apparently the quotas file on the partition seems to reach
some kind of limit or corruption (I am not sure whether it has
to do with a system table of some sorts)
Solution: Steps taken
1. I turned quota off on the partition
quotaoff -v /disk13/pe
2. Removed the quotas file
rm quotas
3. touch quotas
with root ownership and permissions set to 600 on quotas
4. turned quota back on
quotaon -v /disk13/pe
5. Recreated users quotas
edquota username
(If several users and all have the same limit use
edquota -p prototypeuser * )
6. Update the quotas file
quotacheck -v /disk13/pe
7. test users on partition
PROBLEM
Hi Managers,
I am experiencing problems enabling quotas properly
on my systems. The quotas file does not get updated and
users can exceed their quota without any errors or warning
messages.
Here is the scenario:
On File Server where disks are mounted from
we are running Solaris2.5.
The vfstab file indicates quotas are enabled
Here is a line from /etc/vfstab
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s4 c2t1d0s4 /disk13 ufs 2 yes rq,quota
From /etc/mnttab
/dev/dsk/c2t1d0s4 /disk13/pe ufs quota,suid,rw,dev=8000fc 84477723
The quota file on /disk13/pe looks like this
216 -rw------- 1 root 1600000 Oct 8 11:00 quotas
IN THE CLIENTS, Solaris2.4 is run
The disks are nfs mounted as
/disk13/pe /nfs/disk13/pe nfs rw,hard,bg,intr,nosuid,quota,actimeo=1,rsize=4096,wsize=4096 0 0
The most interesting part is that some disks quotas are functioning
properly? They are all set up the same way
Any help, suggestions will the greatly appreciated and i will summarise
