Hi, Is there going to be support for Quotas in ext3 files system (Red Hat)? Or has any one modified theirs to do this? Michael |

Webmin should support this, assuming that the actual ext3 filesystem supports quotas. Personally, I have never gotten them to work on my Redhat 7.2 test system, even from the command line .. has anyone? - Jamie |

Hi, I use Quotas (for test purpose only) on my Slackware 8.0, and this works from webmin (never tried from command line). This is on an ext2 filesystem, but I guess ext3 is compatible. Besides, I tried quotas on a RedHat lately, and it did not work, for some reason I had no time to find. > Webmin should support this, assuming that the actual ext3 filesystem > supports quotas.

I belive, though Im not certain, that it must be compiled into the kernel= =20 itself in order to work with ext3. --=20 Robert Brandtjen -------------------------------------- Web Site Creation and Hosting Services Hos...@pr... www.prometheusmedia.com |

I was finally able to get Quotas to work on my Red Hat 7.2 install, using Webmin :) If anyone has any questions, please email me and I can give the details of what needs to be done. The Red Hat default install, is with Quota enabled, but some of the files are not populated correctly for it to work. Michael -----Original Message----- From: web...@li...

Okay, Since I'm starting a hosting company, having Quota support for me was needed. So I figured out what the problem was. First thing you need to do, is go to the drive that you need quota support on. In my case, was /home Ensure that aquota.group & aquota.user exist, and are chmod 600 (Red Hat with 7.x switched from quota.user to aquota.user) You can delete them, and recreate by using touch aquota.group or touch aquota.user if wanted. Then, verify that you have the quota rpm installed [root@www etc]# rpm -qa | grep quota quota-3.01pre9-3 Now, check your /etc/fstab (This is what mine looked like) [root@www etc]# cat fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda10 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr/local /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 This is what it should look like: [root@www etc]# cat fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/usr/local /usr/local ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 Notice the difference? I had to change the /dev/hda10 to LABEL=/home and add the ,usrquota,grpquota (Only need usrquota if you just want to quota users.) Now, You also need to check your /etc/rc.sysinit for an entry such as: (This was in there on my default install) if [ X"$_RUN_QUOTACHECK" = X1 -a -x /sbin/quotacheck ]; then if [ -x /sbin/convertquota ]; then # try to convert old quotas for mountpt in `cat /etc/mtab | awk '$4 ~ /quota/{print $2}'`; do if [ -f "$mountpt/quota.user" ]; then action $"Converting old user quota files: " \ /sbin/convertquota -u $mountpt && \ rm -f $mountpt/quota.user fi if [ -f "$mountpt/quota.group" ]; then action $"Converting old group quota files: " \ /sbin/convertquota -g $mountpt && \ rm -f $mountpt/quota.group fi done fi action $"Checking local filesystem quotas: " /sbin/quotacheck -aRnug fi if [ -x /sbin/quotaon ]; then action $"Enabling local filesystem quotas: " /sbin/quotaon -aug fi If not, you can add something simple such as: # Check quota and then turn quota on. if [ -x /usr/sbin/quotacheck ] then echo "Checking quotas. This may take some time." /usr/sbin/quotacheck -avug echo " Done." fi if [ -x /usr/sbin/quotaon ] then echo "Turning on quota." /usr/sbin/quotaon -avug fi Reboot your box, when the quota check comes up, you will see [OK] instead of [FAILED] :) This was all I did, and quota's now work on my RedHat 7.2 install I'm pretty sure that web min could be setup to check these files, to ensure the correct syntax is used. (I'm just not that familiar with Perl) I hope this helps some of you. Please let me know success with trying these steps. Michael |

I can't see how a label could be necessary for quotas. (But then, I don't use quotas so maybe I just don't know.)

They may not be, but as I labeled my mount points, it was necessary for it to work on my system. Someone who did not label, should verify this. The other reason, could be that Red Hat requires a label for the quota to work, I kind of doubt that, but would not put it past anyone. Michael -----Original Message----- From: web...@li...
