Problem with quotas on root partition on FreeBSD 8.0
Hi, on FreeBSD 8.0 (i386 or AMD64) if we configure to use quotas on root partition. It stops on boot with the following message: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a mount option userquota is unknown mount option groupquota is unknown ROOT MOUNT ERROR: mount option groupquota is unknown If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from the loader prompt: set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab. Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s1a vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw,userquota,groupquota,acls Manual root filesystem specification: fstype:device Mount device using filesystem fstype eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0 This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 / ? List valid disk boot devices empty line Abort manual input mountroot If i do: ufs:/dev/ad0s1a Then the boot continues and it mount the quotas ok. but if I reboot the same thing happen again. This only occurs on FreeBSD 8. Does anyone have a clue about the problem ?

how to decide if disk / system is quotas capable
hi, I am writing a script in which I want to decide if disk / system is capable to set quotas for user / groups. how to check it? I am thinking about 1) checking enable_quotas=YES in /etc/rc.conf 2) should I try to look in /etc/fstab? There is userquota and / or groupquota in line for some disk device in option field. 3) should I test existence of quota.user and quota.group in filesystem root? which method would be the best one? thank you for time ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Hi, 1) checking enable_quotas=YES in /etc/rc.conf 2) should I try to look in /etc/fstab? There is userquota and / or groupquota in line for some disk device in option field. That is enough. 1) will tell you that the system is quota capable 2) will tell you what file system is quota capabel 3) will tell you what file system has some quota defined for some user/group, it's beyond your question.

Disk quotas out of sync
Hello Folks, Ever since I went from 6.x to 7.x I have started experiencing disk quotas getting out of sync, way out of sync. For example, a user with 160GB quota suddenly shows usage of only 120GB This forces me to run quotacheck -av often. Was something changed regarding quotas in 7.x? Nobody else noticed this issue? I have this issue across multiple, different hardware, servers running 7.x Thank you for any insight and help in advance!

Setting quotas on nested directories
Hello all, I want to set quotas on nested directories; ie: /mnt/docs has the directories legal and IT I want to limit legal to 50GB. How can this be done, if at all?

Server Move - Quotas
Hi all, I am about to migrate about 250 domains from 1 server to another. The OLD server is running FreeBSD 4.7 and the new one is 6.2. Every domain has a real UNIX user whos home is in the /home directory. We are using user quotas to manage disk space. Can I directly copy the user.quota file in the /home directory from the old server to the new one, or will I need to redo all the quotas manually? -Grant ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have narrowed the problem down to two items: There is a reboot called for in the handbook during the quota setup that I probably didn't do. Also, I was testing by having root copy data owned by the user with the quota. While that changed the quota used, it may not have triggered the quota check. In either case, after rebooting today and having the user do the copy, the hard quota is now enforced properly.

Quotas on 6.2
I understand quotas were broken in 6.1. I am testing 6.2 where I thought they were working again. However, it behaves considerably differently from 5.x. I set both a hard and soft limit on a user to the same value. Adding disk usage to that user past that limit succeeds. quota shows the limit as having been exceeded but with a grace period of 7 days. I don't want a grace period, but a hard limit. I used edquota -t to change the grace periods for the partition to 1 day (per the man page). However, it still shows a 7 day grace period with quota and the limit is not enforced. Did I miss something or is there still a problem with quotas.

quotas + jail ?

I set up my system as follows: 1. this is setting in main environment cat /etc/fstab | grep VSERVERS /dev/ad3s1f /VSERVERS ufs rw,noatime,groupquota=/VSERVERS/machine1/quotagroup,userquota=/VSERVERS/machine1/quotauser 2 2 2. this is setting in jail(8) /dev/ad3s1f /ufs rw,noatime,soft-updates,groupquota=/quotagroup,userquota=/quotauser But still cannot use quotas in jail. I thought if I have access to quotagroup and quotauser files, I can simply use quotas advantages. I try [EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/rc.d/quota restart quotaoff: /: Operation not permitted quotaoff: /: Operation not permitted Checking quotas: done. Enabling quotas:quotaon: using /quotagroup on quotaon: /: Operation not permitted quotaon: using /quotauser on quotaon: /: Operation not permitted done. It seems to be impossible ( some kernel restriction ). :-( Is there some way to allow this ?

I don't think I understand your goal. Do you want some grand limit for whole jail's disk usage or have separated quotas for jails on the same partition? Neither can be done at the moment with disk quotas. The needed changes to support either will be quite extensive I believe. I recommend using separate partition for each jail. This will allow you to achieve both goals at the same time. If you have lot of jails and the number of partitions is the problem you can use gpt(8) or vnode based md(4) (see mdconfig(8)). With md(4) you can also use sparse backing files and that way have more space than you have on physical drives. Beware of overcommit though - I wouldn't be surprised if the system crashed when the disk is full and the md(4) file system is supposed to have free space in it.

Assuming your uids start at 1000 and you already have user 1000's quotas set: edquota -p 1000 1001-2000 will copy userid 1000's quotas to the next 1000 users to get created.

Recently (three weeks ago) I bought one dedicated server with FreeBSD 5.4-release for amd64 and I haven't been able to use quotas, after I tried to enable quotas in fstab over the home filesystem and rebooting, the system just hanged so I checked if quota was enabled on the Kernel but it wasn't... So I asked at the Datacenter and they told me they tried initially to enable quotas on the Kernel but it wasn't working at all and the server wouldn't start. I've been trying to find something like this already documented but I haven't found anything at all. My server config: FreeBSD 5.4-release for amd64 Cpanel/WHM Dual Opteron 244, 2GB of ECC Ram and two SATA Drives My questions: 1. Anyone knows about or had already this problem? is this normal? 2. Should I try to compile the kernel myself with quotas? Thanks in advance for any help, Melvin D.

So I asked at the Datacenter and they told me they tried initially to enable quotas on the Kernel but it wasn't working at all and the server wouldn't start. 1. Make sure your kernel supports quota, the GENERIC kernel does not. You need to add this line to your kernel config and then compile and install a new kernel: options QUOTA #enable disk quotas Then reboot 2. In fstab as you know, you need to add userquota and/or groupquota to the options. 3. Enable or disable quota with quotaon/quotaoff 4. Edit quota for individual users or groups with edquota I suggest that you keep quota turned off at boot so your system doesn't hang, then enable quotas after boot as in 3. I've been trying to find something like this already documented but I haven't found anything at all. Did you check the handbook? Chp 16.14 seems to be for you. It is far more detailed than what I just wrote: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html Cheers, Erik ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It appears that it always formats a new filesystem because that's what

So, what IS the correct way to create and use file-based file
systems?
Apply the patch above, then something in /etc/fstab like the following will
not reformat the filesystem:
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-F/vnodes/fileimage,noauto 0 0
If you want it to reformat the filesystem as the old mount_mfs did
(or at least, as the old man pages say it did), then use something like
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-F/vnodes/fileimage,-u,noauto 0 0
Note that -u MUST follow -F on the command line to have any effect.
This breaks compatibility with the old mount_newfs. I guess I should
have used to opposite sense for -u. Which still would have broken
compatibility, but not as much. This means that if this patch ever
makes it into a FreeBSD distribution, it is likely to default to formatting
rather than not formatting. This will lead to a nasty surprise if you
aren't expecting it. In other words, don't use this patch unless you
are desperately seeking a solution to a problem that makes it worth
the risk. Don't blame me when some future change in behavior
deletes your important filesystem.
And, can I put quotas on them?
Don't know, but probably.
If applying a patch is a mystery to you, try (assuming you have the
full source installed) something that approximates this:
# cd /usr/src/sbin/mdmfs
# patch /path/to/patch.file
# make
# make install
If you want to be thorough, apply the following patch to fix the
man page as well:

So, what IS the correct way to create and use file-based file

The patch I provided defaulted to NOT formatting the
filesystem when used with the -F option. This is the
opposite of the normal behavior, creating the risk of
a /etc/fstab that assumes that the filesystem will not
be formatted being used with a new release that will format
it by default, thus destroying the filesystem. That
would be very very bad.
So here is a new patch that modifies mdmfs / mount_mfs
to behave as it does now, except that it will not format
the filesystem before mounting if you supply the -A
(mount as-is) option. Thus, to use /etc/fstab to mount
a file-backed filesystem without reformatting the filesystem,
put something like this in /etc/fstab
/dev/md3 /mnt mfs rw,-A,-F /home/bob/mdfile,noauto 0 0
So, here is a patch to add this to the original mdmfs,
as well as a patch to the man page.

quotas on 5.3
Hello, Got a question on quotas. I've enabled them on /usr and /var filesystems by adding the userquota option to their options in fstab. This is after i recompiled my kernel with the QUOTA option in it and rebooted. I then added: enable_quotas=YES check_quotas=NO to /etc/rc.conf and again rebooted. According to the handbook quota files should be created automatically i don't have to touch any zero-length quota files. When the system came back up i checked /usr and /var for quota user files, i did not see them. Boot up messages indicate quota on /usr but again no quota file. Is this normal? Did i miss something?

Disk quotas
The Scenario: I am running a multiuser FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE box for ~500 users. We have enforced disk quotas on /home and /tmp of 250MB soft and 256MB hard The Problem: One user has inadvertently snaked around this. (btw I like users who tell you when they have found a problem that works in their favour) We're running Apache 1 with mod_php, mod_ssl etc etc etc. This user has gallery setup on his webpage and the albums directory is chmod 707'd so that httpd can write to it. The problem is that httpd creates files as http:group and quota is not picking up that he is using more disk space than we want him to.

The simplest way to do that is to give each user their own individual group, and then simply use the *group* quotas rather than the individual per-user quotas. This works very well where the user is having files created on their behalf by other UIDs (eg. httpd in this case) because of the standard BSD behaviour that files default to inheriting the same group ownership as the directory they are created in. With some exceptions for files created by root, or where the sticky bit is set on the directory.

User quotas in a jail
Hi, I wasn't sure of the best way to manage quotas on a jailed system, I'm running FreeBSD v4.9. I have several file systems mounted on the host system and have quotas enabled on the /var partition where I'm running the jail. Since the password db is different between the host and jail(s) what's the best way to check and enforce quotas on the users in the jails? I don't have a true /etc/fstab file in the jail to run the quota-related commands. If I set and check quotas from the host system, how do I tell if I'm looking up fred on jail 1 or fred on jail 2?

You need to add the line: options QUOTA to your kernel configuration. If this is the first time you've ever got your feet wet with kernel compilation, start off with something very close to GENERIC. In fact, copy GENERIC to YOURKERNCONF, edit YOURKERNCONF to change the 'ident' line so it reads: ident YOURKERNCONF and add the 'options QUOTA' line at the end of the big block of options stuff that follows next in the file. Then build yourself a kernel, install it and reboot, following the instructions in the Hadbook for the exact way to do that. With such a minimal change, you're pretty much assured of success. You can develop a more highly customized kernel with minimal risk of failure by making small incremental changes in this manner, at least until you run out of patience with repeatedly recompiling the kernel.

I would like to limit the amount of space available for each user's e.mail so e.mail file size will not go crazy. What exactly do you want to do? Filesystem quotas will cause a bounce message to be returned to the sender indicating that the recipient was over quota. That's generally the preferred way because the operating system takes care of most of it. You could modify that bounce message to include friendlier text if the default text is a problem for you. Alternately, you could implement a solution using procmail, with a small tool like http://www.it.ca/software/fsizecompare.c to determine existing filesize and behave accordingly. Or you could come up with other clever behaviour based on whatever criteria you dream up. But you have to dream it up first. Figure out exactly what you want to do with your users' mail. Then try to write something that does it.

Well I don't know, that's my question... I am using sendmail. Exim can do quotas. http://www.exim.org/ also in the ports: /usr/ports/mail/exim/ I've never actually used the quota system myself in Exim but it sounds relatively straightforward - from the specifications for Exim: quota Type: string* Default: unset This option imposes a limit on the size of the file to which Exim is appending, or to the total space used in the directory tree when the directory option is set. In the latter case, computation of the space used is expensive, because all the files in the directory (and any sub- directories) have to be individually inspected and their sizes summed (but see quota_size_regex below). Also, there is no interlock against two simultaneous deliveries into a multi-file mailbox. For single-file mailboxes, of course, an interlock is a necessity. A file's size is taken as its used value. Because of blocking effects, this may be a lot less than the actual amount of disk space allocated to the file. If the sizes of a number of files are being added up, the rounding effect can become quite noticeable, especially on systems that have large block sizes. Nevertheless, it seems best to stick to the used figure, because this is the obvious value which users understand most easily. The value of the option is expanded, and must then be a numerical value (decimal point allowed), optionally followed by one of the letters K or M. A value of zero unsets the option. The expansion happens while Exim is running as root, before it changes uid for the delivery. This means that files which are inaccessible to the end user can be used to hold quota values that are looked up in the expansion. When delivery fails because this quota is exceeded, the handling of the error is as for system quota failures. By default, Exim's quota checking mimics system quotas, and restricts the mailbox to the specified maximum size, though the value is not accurate to the last byte, owing to separator lines and additional headers that may get added during message delivery. When a mailbox is nearly full, large messages may get refused even though small ones are accepted, because the size of the current message is added to the quota when the check is made. This behaviour can be changed by setting quota_is_inclusive false. When this is done, the check for exceeding the quota does not include the current message. Thus, deliveries continue until the quota has been exceeded; thereafter, no further messages are delivered. See also quota_warn_threshold. quota_directory Type: string* Default: unset This option defines the directory to check for quota purposes when delivering into individual files. The default is the delivery directory, or, if a file called maildirfolder exists in a maildir directory, the parent of the delivery directory. quota_filecount Type: string* Default: 0 This option applies when the directory option is set. It limits the total number of files in the directory (compare the inode limit in system quotas). It can only be used if quota is also set. The value is expanded; an expansion failure causes delivery to be deferred. quota_is_inclusive Type: boolean Default: true See quota above. quota_size_regex Type: string Default: unset This option applies when one of the delivery modes that writes a separate file for each message is being used. When Exim wants to find the size of one of these files in order to test the quota, it first checks quota_size_regex. If this is set to a regular expression that matches the file name, and it captures one string, that string is interpreted as a representation of the file's size. The value of quota_size_regex is not expanded. This feature is useful only when users have no shell access to their mailboxes - otherwise they could defeat the quota simply by renaming the files. This facility can be used with maildir deliveries, by setting maildir_tag to add the file length to the file name. For example: maildir_tag = ,S=$message_size quota_size_regex = ,S=(\d+) The regular expression should not assume that the length is at the end of the file

Re: Can Freebsd provides tree-based quotas.
Hi, Can you please tell me if linux or freebsd is providing Tree-based quotas (directory quota) ? As far as I know, FreeBSd does quotas based on per user/per filesystem. It does not do quotas based on subdirectories within a filesystem. If this has changed recently (eg 5.xx), I don't know. I haven't looked at quotos in Linux.

Hello. On 29 Jun 2003, Lowell Gilbert wrote: Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The only thing I can think of that might work: if you didn't mind a whole lot of filesystems, you could create a filesystem per directory you wanted to control. Then the filessytem size itself would be the quota. I'm not following this suggestion. Quotas are per-user, *per-filesystem*, as you said the first time. So it's not necessary to put each user's critical space on a different filesystem. In fact, what quotas do is protect users from each other on a given filesystem. What he is saying is, if I want to control the size of a directory, but there will be file creations in that directory from more than one user, I need to do something besides quotas, since quotas only count how much that user has created, NOT how much is in the directory total. So my question was, is there a way to control how big a directory can grow, regardless of who is putting what files in that directory. So far, his answer was that I could just make each directory its own filesystem, which would definitiely work, but I wondering if perhaps there is a more elegant way to do this ?

FreeBSD doesn't have a filesystem with per-directory quota support.

FreeBSD doesn't support any filesystems that do this proactively. From an OS point of view, it doesn't really make sense. However, I can see a few scenarios where this would be helpful, and it is more than possible to enforce directory size limits reactively. For example: #!/bin/sh if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then echo usage: $0 pathname 12 exit 2 fi QUOTA=102400; # Max. usage, kilobytes SIZE=`du -xd 0 $1 | cut -f 1` echo Directory size is $SIZE if [ $SIZE -gt $QUOTA ]; then echo $1 is over quota;# Take appropriate action, here... else echo $1 is OK; fi That's an illustrative example; it'll be easy to extend that to loop over an arbitrary list of users (or all system users). You can then run it periodically from cron(8) to check disk usage at the interval of your choosing, and react accordingly. As others have mentioned, users may find other directories and filesystems to store files, thereby circumventing your quota check. So, it's up to you to harden your system to mitigate that. Also, as this is a reactive approach, your users still have the ability to fill up your disk, but at least you can react appropriately (and possibly automatically). Though, I think I've at least answered your question. :-) Hope this helps, - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] SaskNow Technologies - http://www.sasknow.com 901-1st Avenue North - Saskatoon, SK - S7K 1Y4 Tel: 306-664-3600 Fax: 306-244-7037 Saskatoon Toll-Free: 877-727-5669 (877-SASKNOW) North America ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

question regarding quotas

At the same time, there will be a fair number of automated processes on the system that place files and directories and logs and other files into their home directories. So, as time goes by, not only will the users themselves fill up their dirs, but other processes on the system will fill up their dirs. These files and dirs that are created by these other processes will be owned by various usernames - bind, www, root - and have different groups set to them as well. My question is, will the extra files and dirs that get placed in their home dir by all these automated processes count towards their quota ? If not, is there a way to set up quotas so that _they do_ ?

Panic on 5.1-RELEASE sparc64 - Quotas
Hi folks I just upgraded my ultra 5 to 5.1-RELEASE from 5.0-RELEASE-p6 When I rebooted it, the box got into a panic-reboot loop. There's nothing about the panic in the message log (because it seems to have been something IO related. I've pasted the messages from the first boot at the bottom of the message. I recreated the problem in single-user mode as follows: boot -s fsck -p mount -u / mount -a quotacheck Quotacheck caused the panic, it flashed past too quickly for me to catch any details. The system then tried to sync the disks and failed, and reset. Disabling quotas in rc.conf allowed the box to boot. Have I missed something stupid? I enclose my kernel config file as well... Thanks!
