Hello all :-) I using quota and I've a doubt: many howto advice to put to cron something like: quotacheck -vguma but the problem is: quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint /data so quotacheck might damage the file.

Quota problems
I'm having some problems getting quotas enabled on a FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE box. I already have quotas enabled on two filesystems, and need to extend that to a third (presently unquota'd) filesystem. I added "userquota,groupquota" to the line in /etc/fstab for the filesystem, touched the files quota.user and quota.group, and rebooted. The sytem came back up fine, but hung after a few minutes of normal activity. I rebooted, and the same thing happened. Turning of the quotas on just that filesystem solved the problem.

Quota problem
Hello all, I originally posted this topic under "How do i know a disk is bad" thread but didn't get any replies. Well I've narrowed down the problem towards disk quotas. It turns out that when I disable quotas, everything works fine. When I first setup quotas on /home, I did not place any quota on the user nor group, with the intention of placing for one later. I think I know the specific problems but I'm not that sure. 1) Does file/dir ownership of another user counts? I have a single directory with files with someone else ownership. 2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing? 3) I ran file quota.user and the output says it's a text file without line terminators but when I did less on it, all I got is a repetitive sequence of '@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all I got is a blank screen. Is this a sign of the quota.user/quota.group is corrupted? When I ran these tests, I removed userquota,groupquota from /home's fstab entry. Please help. Thanks in advance. -- Thank you for your time, Ihsan __ Do you Yahoo!?

The system is still running and accepting NFS traffic on a separate filesystem (/clients), but all disk I/O on the filesystem I'm enabling on (/usr) is stopped. Also, running "quotacheck /filesystem" is a better way to create the quota files than touching them. It ensures that existing files on the filesystem are correctly accounted for. OK. The handbook should be clearer on this. Where it says: === For finer control over your quota startup, there is an additional configuration variable available. Normally on bootup, the quota integrity of each file system is checked by the quotacheck(8) <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=quotacheck&sektion=8> program. The quotacheck(8) <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=quotacheck&sektion=8> facility insures that the data in the quota database properly reflects the data on the file system. This is a very time consuming process that will significantly affect the time your system takes to boot. If you would like to skip this step, a variable in /etc/rc.conf is made available for the purpose: check_quotas="NO" === And: === At this point you should reboot your system with your new kernel. /etc/rc will automatically run the appropriate commands to create the initial quota files for all of the quotas you enabled in /etc/fstab, so there is no need to manually create any zero length quota files. === there should be changes to mention that /etc/rc will only create the files with check_quota enabled, and also that creating zero-length files is not only unnecessary, but also dangerous. In any case, I have more downtime scheduled early Friday morning, so I can see if using quotacheck solves my problems. -- -- Skylar Thompson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

It looks like they were the problem. I took the server down to single-user
mode, deleted the zero-size quota.{user,group} files, and then ran
quotacheck on that filesystem. After booting back up, the system ran
normally without hanging.

How much disk does user 'aj.bunyola' have filled up and what is it being used for. Maybe the mailbox is already huge or the user has saved some large mail files or whatever. The 'ls -l' and 'du -dk *' commands in appropriate directories will help with this. NOTE that quota is by file system and not just directories. So a user may be using disk in more than one place. You can also use find(1) to locate all the disk a user is occupying in a file system. What is user aj.bunyola quota set at. From root run 'quota -u af.bunyola' to find out what is set for each file system with quotas turned on. I suspect that the quota for this user might be set at some unreasonably low amount on the /var filesystem. You might not want quotas turned on for the /var filesystem if it is not part of another filesystem. > > How can modify this message?

quota with OWM
Hello Gurus, This problem is related to DiskQuotas and OpenWebMail package, but no one replied back in OWM mailing list, I'm sending in here hope someone knows a good way to solve this. I'm On FreeBSD 4.8, latest openwebmail version,(upgraded) Openwebmail is a .pl scripts. Lately i have enabled quota on my OS, because my users are increasing with time and some of them hit 200MB! Well i hgave setup openwebmail to read DiskQuotas from Unix File system (Soft, hard limits) Lets asume the user test has quota system soft 45 and hard 50 when you go to (Folder) option in that user OWM you will see the follow in bottom Total 19MB Quota usage: 16.6MB (36.9%) Quota limit: 45MB The actual user mail quota is 19MB, but then it says 16.6MB !! If you delete any email from inbox then quota will be increase in the time it should be decreased! and the 19MB it will decrease! As i Understod that, QUota module reading the user SHELL account, and ignoring the /var/mail thats why We see 16.6MB which is the shell account quota. but spool will read the /var/mail and ignore SHELL account! (this the problem viseversa) thats why we read 19MB (19 is the INBOX) Weill (Spool_limit) is an option you set in OWM to limit the INBOX ONLY, (spool reads /var/mail) well impossible to fix the quota system in this way! because the user maybe will have 45MB in his inbox(/var/mail) and 45MB in his private folder(homedir). with total 90MB becuase the spool_limit will allow him upto 45MB in /var/mail and the quota will allow him 45MB in the SHELL account! How would i controll that please? Simply I just want to limit his complete MailBox (inbox, trush..etc..) to just 45MB, for example. any simple easy way to make it read this and that?

Hello everyone, I'm on FreeBSD 4.8R Latest sendmail is the default MTA, and latest Openwebmail is the webmail client.

Is there away, script or any solution PLEASE to make the kernel quota reads the /home/user and adds to it /var/mail/user and the result comes as 1 size limit? 1 box limit? a link in the user home directory to /var/mail/user will do it?

i have multi-jail server, moved every jail to a separate UFS partition, and turned on quota on some of them (where vserver customer asked for it). repquota shows all right, edquota works, then repquota shows right things but after few syncs or just waiting a minute quota setting disappears! mount as seen from master server: /dev/mirror/szymon.eli on /jail/szymon (ufs, local, noatime, with quotas, soft-updates) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /jail/szymon/quota* -rw-r- 1 root operator 2097120 20 wrz 22:00 /jail/szymon/quota.group -rw-r- 1 root operator 2097120 20 wrz 22:00 /jail/szymon/quota.user [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# jexec 8 usr/bin/su - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# cat /etc/fstab /dev/mirror/szymon.eli / ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 0 0 (i did it to make repquota work at all, with empty fstab doesn't, i found putting anything instead of /dev/mirror/szymon.eli make it work too) then repquota works OK, edquota works, but is quickly losing the data.

Freebsd quota & sendmail
I'm putting this under freebsd because there is no forum for sendmail, and it does concern freebsd as well.

Well after a while the mail file reaches it's quota and sendmail isn't allowed to write to that file anymore, so it will start and fill the mailq, ..

This is one of the admin tasks that almost always cause headache. I think the standard solution is to hack up some Perl script that suits your needs. For LPRng, you might want to take a look at ifhp for a start. It doesn't do accounting but it may be useful to get every job into a particular format so you can count pages in that. I once made a script that counted pages in ps-files using the page separation tag in the code and rejected everything that didn't seem enough PostScript like. Once you have your Perl to count, you can do pretty much anything you like with the numbers. And there is a Sybase DB driver for Perl.

By setting up filesystem quotas on the /var partition -- assuming your mailboxes are in the default place in /var/mail. procmail understands how to deal with the EQUOTA error and causes sendmail to bounce over-quota messages with an appropriate error message. To set up quotas: i) Compile kernel with 'options QUOTA' added to the config file. Reboot with new kernel. ii) Add: check_quotas="YES" enable_quotas="YES" to /etc/rc.conf iii) Edit /etc/fstab to tell the system to enforce quotas on the /var partition: /dev/da0s1e /var ufs rw,nosuid,userquota 2 2 See fstab(5) for details of the userquota and groupquota options. iv) Reboot -- quotacheck(8) will be run to count up how many files and bytes are owned by each of the different userids, and the quota system will be enabled by running quotaon(8). v) Running repquota(8) will now give you a nice little report showing how much space each userid is using up on the partition: % repquota -av vi) However, no usage limits have yet been set. Use edquota(8) to set them: # edquota username This will put you into the $EDITOR editor (or vi if $EDITOR is unset) showing how many files and how many bytes are in use for that username on each of the partitions with quota limits. Fill in appropriate numbers in the 'limits' sections: anything you leave at '0' will be unlimited. Save the file, and then check that the settings were registered OK: # quota -v username And that's all there is to it.

Here's a brief rundown of what you need to do to get filesystem quotas working. i) Read through these man pages: quota(1) edquota(8) quotacheck(8) quotaon(8) repquota(8) fstab(5) Additionally, any of the other pages turned up by 'man -k quota' ii) Prepare your system. You need to add 'options QUOTA' to your kernel config and compile yourself a new kernel, or the system simply won't support quotas. iii) Add: enable_quotas="YES" check_quotas="YES" to /etc/rc.conf. Now, when you reboot into your new kernel you would see Checking quotas : done Enabling quotas : done printed on the console. You don't need to reboot just yet though. iv) At this point no filesystems have been marked as using quotas. I'm going to use my /var partition as an example. Edit /etc/fstab to enable quotas on the partition. As I don't want the quota files cluttering up the root of the filesystem, I'm going to move them into a subdirectory. /dev/da0s1e /varufs rw,userquota=/var/quota/var.user,groupquota=/var/quota/var.group 2 2 Create the /var/quota directory, and generate baseline quota files. quotacheck(8) should be run when the filesystem is quiescent for best results: mkdir /var/quota quotacheck -v /var Now, set up the per-uid or per-group limits with edquota(8) edquota -f /var username If you've got lots of users, set up one with default values and use 'edquota -p defaultuser 1000-2000' to copy the settings to a range of UIDs in one go. All of the above can be done without having quotas enabled in the kernel yet (although you will see many warning messages to that effect). v) Turn on quotas on the partition. If you had to modify the kernel in step ii), then you've got to reboot at this point. Otherwise you can just run: quotaon -v /var vi) Check that everything seems to be working by running repquota(8) and quota(1). Try adding some big files and testing that quota limits are enforced. Repeat as necessary for other filesystems. That's all there is to it. > 1) Does file/dir ownership of another user counts? I have a single > directory with files with someone else ownership. The quota system keeps track of the ownership of every entity created on the file system, be it a plain file, a directory or some other thing. It keeps track of the changes in the number of bytes and the number of inodes used by each UID by having hooks into the system calls (like open(2), truncate(2), write(2), etc) that can create or destroy files or change their size. The quotacheck(8) command should be used to establish a baseline when setting up quotas for the first time, and on reboot (check_quotas="YES" in /etc/rc.conf) to ensure sanity. The quota system will add a small amount of overhead to file IO on the partition, but for normal usage for shell accounts and the like it's not significant. > 2) Does quotas have problem with this kind of thing? No. It doesn't matter if a directory contains files owned by any number of different users, or if a users' files are scattered all over the partition. It doesn't matter either if you've only specified quota limits for some of your users --- the rest will default to having an unlimited quota. > 3) I ran file quota.user and the output says it's a text file > without line terminators but when I did less on it, all I got is a > repetitive sequence of '@@@' character. When I tried to edit it, all > I got is a blank screen. Is this a sign of the > quota.user/quota.group is corrupted? No --- the quota.user file consists of a list of fixed size records, and uses the UID of the user as an index into the file to locate the data for that user. (Similarly, it uses the GID in the quota.group file). That means that if you have, say, a /home partition and you are the only user with any files on the partition and your user id is 1000, then the quota.user file will consist of 1001 records, most of which will be unused and empty. The unused stuff is usually filled with ascii NULL characters, often represented as '^@' when viewing

Quota Questions 5.3 Release
Hi, ~ Theres a high probablility this is a stupid question, but I must ask it Heres the situation: I am leasing a server from a relatively well known ISP in the DC area... It is installed w/ FreeBSD 5.3 Release (Generic) These geniuses gave me the box without the ports tree or the kernel sources... This wouldnt be a problem, except that, among other things, they didnt compile in the quota support. I desperately need it. Questions: 1. Is there a kernel module to implement quota support (I have googled incessantly trying to find it w/o much luck) 2. Is there a trivial way to get the kernel sources and ports tree (and more importantly, how safe (in terms of the box coming back) is it to recompile the kernel if I can get the sources) - they pretty much killed about 50% of my reason for getting FBSD by leaving out the ports WTF??. 3. Finally, out of curiousity, does anyone know why quota support is left our of the stock FreeBSD Kernel, I am assuming there must be a compelling reason for this... and are there any alternatives (short of me writing lots of ugly code - which I have lacking time and motivation for) -- ...

Questions on disk quota
Hi I am using FreeBSD 6.0 Release. I have enabled disk quota in kernel, things look fine but I have some questions: 1. The quota information seems static. It does not update immediately according to user's disk usage. Is it normal? 2. I found that those quota files are not accessible by non-privileged user, but normal user should be able to use /usr/bin/quota to check their own disk quota. In default installation, /usr/bin/quota is own by root:wheel and have the permission of 555. My solution is chown to root:operator and make it sgid. I wonder why the default doesn't allow normal user to access the quota information.

Quota support in GENERIC
Hi all, Is there any technical reason why quota support is not included in GENERIC kernel or at least be made a loadable module? I know it's not hard to recompile the kernel but why the hassle of doing that when a module or built-in feature can be included? I would like to utilize freebsd-update binary patching mechanism for all the boxes I maintain but it only supports GENERIC kernel. I don't have a dedicated build machine and most boxes are located offsite so having a binary update can really help cut down on the tangible and intangible costs. It is my opinion after using FreeBSD for quite some time that quota is an essential feature that should be part of the GENERIC kernel.

I sounds to me as if you've enabled all of the quota machinery, but that you need to actually initialise the system and set some quotas for each user on the partition. You need to run quotacheck(8) to initialise the quota.user and/or quota.group files -- that should happen automatically when you reboot, or you can run it manually by: # quotacheck -v -a That may take some time to run, and there shouldn't be any activity on the filesystem while it is being checked -- best way to ensure that is to drop to single user mode while you run it. Having done that, what's the output of: % repquota /usr To set up the quota limits for each user use edquota(1).

squirrel/qmail/quota question ??
I was recently assigned to take charge of creation of email accounts and maintenance and just hit a problem. I don't have any mail experience yet[and very minimal bsd experience], and still reading the documentation, also the previous admin is not around. I deduced from pkg_info that we have courier-imap-1.7.1 qmail-1.03_1 squirrelmail-1.4.0 running the mail processes. They are working fine, although I received an important email with a 1.2MB attachment and wanted to read that. Unfortunately, when I access that, it says Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 9437240 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 79 bytes) in /usr/local/www/data-dist/webmail/functions/mime.php on line 113 So now I'm stuck with a large file and no way to access it. I'm not sure if this is a quota problem but i ran #quota -v and it shows Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /var 7638 0 0 511 0 0 so i dont think its a quota problem although im not sure. i did manage to get the file though and try putting it my mailbox although it seems that the same problem arises. I only actually want to get the document attached to the file so I can forward that to the real recipient If anyone can help, it would be great.

With quotas enabled this should be easy. Use 'repquota' and sort the list by allocated disk space: repquota -u /path/to/filesystem | sort -rn +2 -3 That's less taxing on the system than using 'find', and it also takes into account files that a user might have deleted but still holds open and therefore allocated.

"/stand/sysinstall" is your friend. I just got done doing the same thing on three remote 1U Dell machines without any problems. The first time I recompiled the kernel was to get smp support for the Xeon with hyperthreading and the second time was to enable quota support.

Quota support in GENERIC kernel
i all, Is there any technical reason why quota support is not included in GENERIC kernel or at least be made a loadable module? I know it's not hard to recompile the kernel but why the hassle of doing that when a module or built-in feature can be included? I would like to utilize freebsd-update binary patching mechanism for all the boxes I maintain but it only supports GENERIC kernel. I don't have a dedicated build machine and most boxes are located offsite so having a binary update can really help cut down on the tangible and intangible costs. It is my opinion after using FreeBSD for quite some time that quota is an essential feature that should be part of the GENERIC kernel. I hope I can get a good explanation for this. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi, I am writing a Perl script to run on our web server. This script will be used to create user accounts. I can do almost every thing on the web server: - create the home directory - add a user in LDAP - create the MySQL database for that user The only thing I cannot do is to set the disk quota: the home directory is NFS mounted from another machine acting as file server, the quota must be edited on the file server. How could I nicely and securely connect from the script on the web server to the file server, in order to edit the quota? It should be nice and secure and without password.

When i check my webmin, the section of "read user mail" will give you the total amount of user useage (including /var/mail/$userInbox) but if i go to quota in my webmin it will show only home directory quota. I'm telling you this information, not because i care about webmin, but i ment to say if webmin can read the home directory quota and add to it the /var/mail/$userInbox size then for sure I can do it some how?

Re: quota and /var/mail
If you want to only have one set of quotas, you might consider switching to a Postfix/Maildir setup where your users' inboxes will be located in their home folder rather than in /var/mail.

Re: quota and /var/mail
:) just another comment about quotas in emails..

Mail when users over quota
We are implementing quota on our servers and it worked out fine. But we would like to warn users with a mail when they are over quota. Is there a tool that does that? We found warnquota for linux but nothing for FreeBSD. We are not the only users of quota who want to warn their users with a mail, right?

Bug with quota over NFS?
Hey everyone, Has anyone seen a problem with the quota command (off of 4.7-Stable) whereby quotas are misrepresented? I have a NetApp filer that hosts my NIS users' home dirs, and I have setup 6Gig quotas. When I run quota on one of my FreeBSD boxes I get: Disk quotas for user eoster (uid 1000): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace /.amd_mnt/california/home 852 2097152 2097152 53 358400 358400 When I run quota on a Linux box on the same network I get: Disk quotas for user eoster (uid 1000): Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace california:/home/ 852 6291456 6291456 53 358400 358400 I've looked online for reports of this behavior, and all I have found is a bug report from 1995 that suggests a patch to quota.c. The patch simply casts limit variables to u_quad_t. Does this behavior sound familiar? I am a little leary of adding a patch from 7 years ago. Thanks in advance, Eric __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

About QUOTA support in stock kernel
Hi, I would like to know why quota is not enabled in the stock kernel.. I remembered that it is not enabled since freebsd 3.5 or freebsd 4 generation. Now in freebsd 9.0, it still neeed a kernel rebuild. I have heard it has performance issue (GIANT lock) about quota.

Quota as a boot time module
I was reading the handbook quota section and it says quota has to be compiles into the kernel. I thought it can also be loaded as a boot time module? If so, how is it done.

Problem with chroot, uid's and quota
I have installed openssh-portable with the chroot option enabled. Users can login and execute the commands I supplied in their chroot'ed home directory. I included an /etc/fstab file for the quota enabled devices and hard linked the quota.user file to the base direcotry of the chroot. In addidtion I copied the entries for the root and chroot'ed user as well as the relevant groups to /etc/passwd and /etc/group in the chroot directory. So far so good. If I login as the chrooted user and type the command quota by itself I get the correct values returned: $ quota Disk quotas for user (no account) (uid 1003): Filesystem usage quota limit grace files quota limit grace / 8 512000 563200 4 0 0 However, when executing the quota command with the user name appended I get: $ quota myuser quota: myuser: unknown user Similar with ls: $ ls -al total 96 drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 . drwxr-xr-x8 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:41 .. dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:53 bin drwxr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 17:42 dev dr-xr-xr-x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:54 etc drwxr-xr-x4 1003 mygroup 512 Dec 21 16:47 home dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 lib dr-x--x--x2 0wheel 512 Dec 21 16:47 libexec -rw-r-3 0operator 2097120 Dec 21 17:44 quota.user Somehow the gid's can get mapped to names but the uid's can't.

That's what I use in my scripts. rsh and ssh are so similar in use there's really no point in using rsh at all any more.
