Re: quota question

Steps to follow for enabling quota:

1. create the data files:

touch /var/aquota.user
touch /var/aquota.group

2. add the option 'quota' to /var in /etc/fstab, for instance change

LABEL=/var              /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2

to

LABEL=/var              /var                    ext3    defaults,quota  1 2

3. remount the filesystem and scan it for quota usage:

mount -o remount /var
quotacheck -vug /var

4. enable quota:

quotaon /var

At boot, the system runs quotacheck and quotaon on every partition marked with
the quota option in /etc/fstab/.

To report about quota usage, use 'repquota'; to actually set the limits, use
'setquota'; to turn off quota, 'quotaoff'.

That's all there is to it... RAID makes no difference at all.
