Greetings everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way of either 1) implementing aggregate quotas, or 2) working out a problem with FTP that's causing me to possibly want to do #1. The situation is like this: I've got a machine with 2 9-gig hard drives, mounted as /home1 and /home2. Most of the user directories are on /home1, and a few are on /home2. Since /home2 has the most free space, I thought I'd put /ftp there as well (i.e. /ftp is a symlink to /home2/ftp). This works fine, except when it comes to quotas. Since most user directories are on /home1, their quotas are also applied to space in use on /home1, and they have no quota on /home2, and could potentially put as much junk there as they wanted to, and never go over quota. I could have separate quotas for each user for /home1 and 2, but then I'd either have to divide the quota between the two volumes (which never works out right, since some users don't use much FTP space at all, and some use at on), or give them their regular quota on each volume (effectively doubling their space allotment), neither of which I really want to do. At first I thought I could just create another FTP directory in /home1/ftp. However, I realized that wouldn't work either, because anonymous FTP users would be chroot'd to see /home2/ftp as just /, and wouldn't be able to get to /home1/ftp. So, what I'm looking for is one of the following: 1) A way of implementing aggregate quotas, which a friend of mine said would allow you to have a single quota across multiple volumes, but he didn't know of an implementation of it for FreeBSD; or 2) A better solution to the FTP directory issue. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears (eyes?). Thanks in advance! ********************************************************************* * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * ICQ: 461599 * * SysAdmin / Hostmaster - DreamHaven Internet Services, LLC * * www.dreamhaven.net * www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ********************************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
