Pb with cyradmin and quotas...
Hello, I use quotas on mailbox with cyradmin. I use scripts which check (in the night) if user go out the warning limit (80%) of is mailbox quota. Today, i see that a user maibox is 85% full. So i use cyradm to check it, and cyradm write: localhost lq user.toto STORAGE 5996/1 (59%) I didn't understand and i made a check on the file systeme: # du -h /var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto 28k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/Transmis 856k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/Poubelle 16k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/Brouillon 16k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/arch1 16k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/arch2 16k/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/toto/arch3 8.5M/var/spool/cyrus/mail/user/totoe What's happend?.. I don't understand. Do you have an idea? Regards, E.Bullier

I don't understand. Do you have an idea? The cyrus quota doesn't include administrative files, such as cyrus.index and cyrus.cache -- the user is only charged for files they have control over. Rather than checking the filesystem directly, use /usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota (or wherever you installed it) and process that output, or have a script connect to the IMAP server using an administrative account and do getquotaroot commands. -- John A.

The cyrus quota doesn't include administrative files, such as cyrus.index and cyrus.cache -- the user is only charged for files they have control over. Rather than checking the filesystem directly, use /usr/local/cyrus/bin/quota (or wherever you installed it) and process that output, or have a script connect to the IMAP server using an administrative account and do getquotaroot commands. I made this check (see in the first mail) and the result was to the filesystem check more than 2.5 Mo! I checked to the cyrus administrative file , and only one was very big: the top level cyrus.cache file (fast 1 Mo). The another were normal... The difference between the filesytem check end the cyrus quota check isn't normal for me (even whith the admin files...). Because i posted this mail this morning. Maybe there is something i don't know... Thank's for your help, Regards, Erick Bullier
