Dear Sunil Sir,
Here are answers to your questions:-
1. DO an entry in /etc/fsab for /home like the following, but make sure
where it is actually mounted:-
# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3
defaults 1 1
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota
1 2
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults
1 2
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults
1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults
0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts
gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs
defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc
defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda5 swap swap defaults
0
# mount –o remount /home
# quotacheck –a /home (It will create a database file aquota.user at /home)
# quotaon /home (means we have applied quota on /home)
# edquota –u username (to apply quota on a particular user).
# edquota sunil
File System blocks soft hard
inodes soft hard
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 72 100000000
100000000 18 0 0
# edquota –t (To apply grace period)
Filesystem block grace period
inode grace period
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 7 days
7 days
2. Mount the 4TB free space in some mount point and then create ext3 file
system in it using fdisk or
any other disk management tool.
