    Hi there,

    I've mounted an other harddrive (nfs) for /var but from now on I'll get no more statistics. webalicer is dead... quota seems to be dead too.
    What do I have to tell quota in the fstab? what is necessarry to type in the terminal to get it woring again?

    Code:
    #________________________________ Welcome to Server1 /etc/fstab _________________________________________#
    
    /dev/hda1               /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota    1       2
    /dev/hda2               none            swap    sw              0       0
    /dev/pts                devpts          gid=5,mode=620          0       0
    none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs   defaults        0       0
    
    #__________________________________________________ /var/www  ___________________________________________#
    
    192.168.1.150:/mnt/2xIDE  /var  nfs  rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr       0       0
    
    ^^ thats how it looks at the moment.


    Thank you very much ;-)

    Can you access /var now? What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -l /var
    ?

    no I can't ;-) because I changed the conf for the post ;-)


    but anyway - I did it like that now:

    I created a folder /ISPconfig/www and told it ISPconfig during it's installation. Everything seems so work out so far but withou NFS. so for the first few weeks I want to use an internal harddrive which is mounted in /ISPconfig but I want to change that as soon as possible and want to use the storeage of an Fileserver which provides it's storage as NFS. But I can't fix the compatibility of quota and NFS.

    this is an preview how my fstab could look like - I tried but it didn'd work out.

    Code:
    ################ NAS Storage #############
    
    192.168.1.150:/mnt/2xSATA       /ISPconfig	nfs     auto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,usrquota,grpquota           0       0
    
    but there is an rerror like "nfs unknown option quota" or something like that ... so I think there is anything missed ... - any idea, any experience? or how are you handling that? do you have your storages in your ISPconfig server internal or do you also have those external on a storage server?

    thanks for helping ;-)

    Thx for your information - but what else do you use?

    the one and only reasen why I want to use NFS was -because I'm a noob and had some attribute problems with samba, sshfs, ftp mounts so in the end I tested NFS and all worked out fine - no problemes on my FreeNAS Server (It's a buggy NAS Server Distribution based on FreeBSD - but it's very nice and it's easy to handle... bla blub.. and so on ..)

    so tell me your solution - I'm excited ;-)) because I guess you don't have 20 Harddrives in a few Raid configs on your machine where also ISPconfig is running at the same time - or do you ;-) ?


    P.S. just a privat question - when did you start with Linux and such stuff like that?

    My servers have two hard disks in a RAID 1 setup.

    About 10 years ago. :)

    hmm ok ... I also thought about such an solution ... but I want to use more space ;-) and I don't have for eg. 500 GB hdds so I thought of an NAS-Server with Raid 5 and a Gigabit Ethernet or something like that ... it's just quota and NFS which I'm to stupid to configure ;-)

    but I'll see ... - I'm using one hdd atm ... but I'll change as soon as possible ....

    Thx!

    Thx I've heard and read about LVM - it's a nice thing.
    It would be great in combination with Raid 1 ;-) But I guess you only can use rsync for backup security ...

    But I don't know why I don't want to have the Storage internal this ISPconfig Server. I guessed it would be more professional to have storeage servers external?!

    And one big reason is that I have the ISPconfig Server running on a xen machine ... and the xen machine has no more IDE controller left .. and I didn't want to put one more PCI controller inside-because it's only an ATX tower which don't has tha much space left .... that's why I took another one and put some harddrives in, installed FreeNAS, created a Raid 5 and shared it firstly via ssh then samba, and finaly NFS.
    Everything is working fine and fast except quota ;-)

    why don't you use Storage Server for your projects? what's your pro and contra?

    Thx

    We use backup servers. Backups are done with rsync and MySQL dumps are taken from a MySQL replication slave.
