How much disk does user 'aj.bunyola' have filled up and what is it being used for. Maybe the mailbox is already huge or the user has saved some large mail files or whatever. The 'ls -l' and 'du -dk *' commands in appropriate directories will help with this. NOTE that quota is by file system and not just directories. So a user may be using disk in more than one place. You can also use find(1) to locate all the disk a user is occupying in a file system. What is user aj.bunyola quota set at. From root run 'quota -u af.bunyola' to find out what is set for each file system with quotas turned on. I suspect that the quota for this user might be set at some unreasonably low amount on the /var filesystem. You might not want quotas turned on for the /var filesystem if it is not part of another filesystem. > > How can modify this message? By either: - Turning off quotas on that file system - raising the user's quota - getting the user to clean out old files until their use gets below the quota. ////jerry > > Thanks > > PD: Sorry, my english is very bad. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > >
