Hello, I am having troubles with quotas on my linux box. I am running the kernel 2.4.20: [nc21] ~ > cat /proc/version Linux version 2.4.20 (root@nc21) (gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Thu Jan 9 15:31:41 CET 2003
with quota support compiled in: # # File systems # CONFIG_QUOTA=y Following the bug-report (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=no&bug=161430), I took the quota package from testing (quota-3.07-1) and tried to set the quotas on one partition: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda2 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda5 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota 0 1 #/dev/hda6 /scratch ext2 defaults 0 2 Then (after a reboot) I've set the quota=150000,limit=180000, however the system allowed me to reach 192444. Now, even if I delete many files: [nc21] ~ > du -s 123220 . quota -v still gives the very old status: Disk quotas for user davidek (uid 260): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/hda5 192444* 150000 180000 2202 0 0 Please could anyone tell me what's wrong ? On another linux box (running kernel 2.4.7 with the same settings as above and identical quota package) quota -v also reports the maximal space occupied, however the grace period started: Disk quotas for user davidek (uid 1010): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace /dev/hda4 10008* 10000 15000 2days 103 0 0 (current disk space occupied is: ipnp:/home/davidek# du -s 3692 . In addition, this system didn't allow me to occupy disk space of e.g. 12000, which I think should be possible for a short time (am I right ?)
