How to check if quota (email) is working?

Hi,

I installed based on the howto for centos 5.5 64bit using ispconfig3.

I am trying to figure out where or how the quota is being set, not sure if it's working now.


thanks,
James Tan

 

same with me. I think i followed all steps, but not sure if it was setup correctly.
Can someone here help troubleshoot quota?
How to check if it's running?
How to test if it's blocking disk space correctly,etc?

thanks

 

If you have roundcube you can see the disk quota at the bottem of the page, if quota is not working, it will be messed up or N/A.

Also you can see quota boot on startup.

You can also use these commands (Ubuntu, but may work for others)

Code:

quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

Hi,

mine showed "unknown" on RC. Any way to troubleshoot this?

thanks,

Whats the out put of

Code:

quotacheck -avugm

and

Code:

quotaon -avug

 

Code:

[root@nm01 ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

I'm on Centos5.5

 

Ok, to see if quota is enabled, what is the options output on /?

In /etc/fstab

Code:

nano /etc/fstab

 

Code:

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /                      ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota
1 1
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
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap                   swap    defaults        0 0

 

Sorry, i donno with CentOS, your'll have to wait till Falko makes a visit

 

Yup. No problem. thanks for trying anyway I'll wait.

 

Please reboot and then try

Code:

quotacheck -avugm

and

Code:

quotaon -avug

again.

 

Hi,

I got this


[root@xxx ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint / so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.

[root@xxx ~]# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: Device or resource busy
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: Device or resource busy

thanks,
James Tan

 

Please try

Code:

quotaoff -avug
quotaon -avug

 

Here's my output:

Code:

[root@xxx ~]# quotaoff -avug
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: group quotas turned off
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: user quotas turned off
[root@xxx ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 19657 directories and 163839 files
[root@xxx ~]# quotaon -avug
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: group quotas turned on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 [/]: user quotas turned on

Hi,

I searched and found a 'fix' in this post http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46001


Works OK for me, the sieve AND the quota especially, since it is very important for my users to see their usage (email).


thanks a lot,
James Tan

 

That means it is working now.
