Kevin, I've executed those steps. There's something I'm not quite understanding here: when I execute "edquota -g mailusers" i get: Edit block and inode quota for group mailusers: Device /dev/sdb1 (/): Used 0KB, limits: soft=0 hard=0 Used 0 inodes, limits: soft=0 hard=0
I want each user of "mailusers" group to be able to use 3Megs on /dev/sdb1. That means i want to set a soft quota = 3000 Once I modified only soft=3000, I tried to fill the mailbox of a user with more than 3Megs. Nothing happened. the file grew to 4Megs with no problem. Seems I missed something here. Please help.
