I've got quotas setup on a freebsd 4.1.1 machine. Here is a snip of my
fstab
/dev/ad0s1f /users ufs rw,userquota 2 2
/dev/ad0s1h /var/mail ufs rw,userquota 2 2
The quota works wonderfully on /users. It's set to a 3mb limit without a
grace. I've tested the sh!t out of it and no problems.
My issue is with the mail partition. According to the "edquota" man page, a
grace of 1 second should indicate no grace period, which works well with my
/users partition, but not for my mail. Despite an 8mb hard limit without a
grace period, the grace keeps defaulting back to 6 days and allowing more
than 8mb. As a test, I setup a user called "test" and emailed 2 7mb files
to the user, after the 1st file I ran "quota -v test"
-----
Disk quotas for user test (uid 5246):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit
grace
/users 9 0 3000 5 0 0
/var/mail 7232 0 8000 1 0 0
-----
after the 2nd file I ran "quota -v test" again

According to the "edquota" man page, a grace of 1 second should indicate no
grace period, which works well with my /users partition, but no for my mail.
Here is the result of running "edquota -t test" (to establish the grace)
----
Time units may be: days, hours, minutes, or seconds
Grace period before enforcing soft limits for users:
/users: block grace period: 1 second, file grace period: 0 days
/var/mail: block grace period: 1 second, file grace period: 0 days
----
Here is the result from running "edquota -u test" (to actually set the
limits)
----
Quotas for user test:
/users: blocks in use: 9, limits (soft = 0, hard = 3000)
inodes in use: 5, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)
/var/mail: blocks in use: 14456, limits (soft = 0, hard = 8000)
inodes in use: 1, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)

Can anyone help? Anybody have a similar problem with quotas on a mail
partition or know of a possible reading source?
thx in advance.
Mike
