    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,

    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

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

    In /etc/fstab

    Code:
    nano /etc/fstab

    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,
