Subject: Per directory disk quotas ...
: does anyone know of some way of setting a disk quota
: onto a directory? so that a directory, and all
: sub-directories/files below it cannot consume more
: then x amount of space?
Setting permissions that alloww only a certain group of users
to write things in that directory, and then using edquota to
limit the quota of that group under the directory. Let's say,
for example, that you want to limit /mnt/foobar to 100 kbytes.
Let's also assume that /mnt/foobar is under an /mnt mountpoint.
Create a new group called "foobar". The name of the group
doesn't need be the same. It might helps remembering what
this group was created for later on though.
# groupadd foobar
Make root:foobar the owner of /mnt/foobar.
# chown -R root:foobar /mnt/foobar
Add write permission to /mnt/foobar for the group:
# chmod 0775 /mnt/foobar
Edit the "group quota" of foobar:
# edquota -g foobar -f /mnt
Done. Don't let "*:foobar" have write access anywhere else
under /mnt and you're set to go. The users that belong to
the "foobar" group will be limited under /mnt/foobar.
If I've forgotten something, I'm sure someone can help?
Giorgos.
