Hello all, I have a question about using quotas in a jail with FreeBSD 6.x. So far I have had no problems on a test box with setting quotas from the host using a numeric UID (ie: edquota -u 20000 where UID 20000 is a user that only exists in a jail). That seems to "just work". The problem comes when I want the jailed users to be able to see what their current usage is. I have a few jails on one partition, so the problem is that the quota.user file is outside the jail. Making a hard link to /jails/quota.user from /jails/jailX/quota.user starts to solve the problem. Only one jail actually needs this capability. Is there any problem with this technique of making a hard link to the real quota.user? One other note... I do null mount ports into two jails from another jail that is used strictly for package building (all on the same filesystem). Are there any weird nullfs/quota interactions to be aware of? Thanks, Charles ___ Charles Sprickman NetEng/SysAdmin Bway.net - New York's Best Internet - www.bway.net spork@bway.net - 212.655.9344
