Hi All :)
In preparation for revamping a webhosting product, I've been trying to
test user and group quotas, and have found a strange thing which I don't
understand. I'm hoping someone can either explain it or point out where
I went wrong:
1) I added the "option QUOTA" line and recompiled the kernel;
2) I added the userquota and groupquota options for the /usr partition
in fstab;
3) I set the enable_quota="YES" option in rc.conf;
4) I rebooted the machine;
5) I created the group "testgrp", and user "testuser" in that group;
6) I created the directory /usr/home/testuser owned by that user and
group;
6) I used edquota -g testgrp to set a hard limit of 5;
7) I logged in as testuser, and was able to copy a file into the
directory that exceeded the limit by 141 blocks
I got no complaints of any kind while copying the file about quota
limits, it did not prevent me from exceeding the limit (as it did when I
was testing user quotas) but did flag the exceeded limit when I did
quota -g testgrp:
Disk quotas for group testgrp (gid xxxx):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/usr 146* 0 5 none 3 0 0
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
TIA,
- David
