Everything is installed correctly. My only question is what is a block? How many bytes or megabytes is that? I need to set a limit of say...5 MB, how many blocks would that be? Also, what is an INODE? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Reply to neubyneu@twcny.rr.com Block = 512 kB = 0.5 MB, 'man df' is one place blocks are mentioned. There are probably better references. Your limit, 5 MB = 10 Block An inode is an integer associated with a file on the filesystem. Inodes are unique on a file system. A filename associates a string with an inode. There are a fixed number of inodes on a given filesystem. 'man inode' -- Crist J.
