Topic: Reset Disk Quota

[CheahCH]

Is there any way to reset the disk quota for a
particular user in SME 6 ?
Anyone knows where is it stored ? Tks.

[mrjhb3]

How about the quota tab on the server-manager sreen?

[CheahCH]

Ihe problem is that I suspect the quota is corrupted.
For example I have user A, disk usage is 8Mb, if I delete this user and later receate user A again immediately the disk usage is shown as 8Mb. The user does not have any other files except mail. Mailbox has been fully cleared.

if they are corrupt you can rebuild them by typing...

quotacheck -avug

HTH

[CheahCH]

would it have to be in a single user mode ?

Yes - Sorry forgot to mention that! as you cannot check a mounted drive

[CheahCH]

Problem solved. Thanks.
For the record these were the steps I took.


1. reboot
2. at menu press crtl-x
3. press 'tab' key
4. choose kernel and load in single mode
   eg smeserver-up single


sh-2.05a# /sbin/quotaon -ap
group qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is on
user qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is on
group qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off
user qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off


That will list whether quotas are on or off.

sh-2.05a# quotaoff -a

that will turn all quotas off
Then you can run your quotacheck without it complaining about needing the -f force.

sh-2.05a# /sbin/quotaon -ap
group qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is off
user qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is off
group qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off
user qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off

List again making sure quotas are off.

sh-2.05a# /sbin/quotacheck -avug
quotacheck: scanning /dev/hda3 [/] done
quotacheck: checked 31575 directories and 327655 files

When done, just turn things back on.

sh-2.05a# /sbin/quotaon -a
sh-2.05a# /sbin/quotaon -ap
group qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is on
user qouta on / (/dev/hda3) is on
group qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off
user qouta on / (/dev/hda1) is off
sh-2.05a# reboot
