Topic: Quota Management

[jane]

I found this

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set maxAccNameLength 15

to set the maximum account name length to 15 characters and

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts set $username user FirstName $firstname LastName $lastname PasswordSet no Uid $number Gid $number

to create user accounts. What I'm currently looking for is how to set the quota. Anybody knows? Any idea?

I have same problem, i need this request..

[Chris Sarginson]

Simply run

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts set $username user FirstName $firstname LastName $lastname PasswordSet no Uid $number Gid $number MaxBlocksSoftLim ${size in kb (has to be a multiple of 1024)} MaxBlocks ${size in kb (has to be a multiple of 1024)}

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event user-modify $username

The MaxBlocksSoftLim is when users will begin recieving warnings, and MaxBlocks is the absolute limit - the user stops recieving emails, being able to add files to ibays etc.....

Hope this is useful

Hi Chris,

Failed!!! , but it still doesn't update the quota by looking at the repquota -avu....

If  the account is already created, can it be modify by using the command line???

Thank you.

Here is a snip from my repquota -avu....

ldasey    --      80    2048    3072             22     0     0  

I created the users through the web interface, and then through the CLI ran  /sbin/e-smith/db accounts set $username user FirstName $firstname LastName $lastname PasswordSet no Uid $number Gid $number MaxBlocksSoftLim ${size in kb (has to be a multiple of 1024)} MaxBlocks ${size in kb (has to be a multiple of 1024)}

followed by /sbin/e-smith/signal-event user-modify $username,
and have had no problems since.

i think i have the kernel VFS error, based on the below snapshot..., however, the quota setting is unable to apply the quota file, which can be confirm by the repquota -avu.

Please help.
