The following steps are from the perfect debian setup page: touch /quota.user /quota.group chmod 600 /quota.* mount -o remount / quotacheck -avugm quotaon -avug This is from the ispconfig.com site: Edit the file /etc/fstab and look for the entry, in which the directory /home is mentioned, e.g. /dev/hda6/home ext2 default 1 2 Add the words usrquota and grpquota as follows: /dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2 Create the files aquota.user and aquota.group in the directory /home: touch home/aquota.user and touch /home/aquota.group Change the properties of the new files: chmod 600/home/aquota.* Reboot the server: shutdown -r now After the restart you have to do the following: quotacheck -avugm and quotaon -avug I take it both steps are the same correct?
As always, it depends... If you have a large / partition with all your websites and mailboxes on it, then do this: Code: touch /quota.user /quota.group chmod 600 /quota.* mount -o remount / quotacheck -avugm quotaon -avug If you have a partition for /home with your users' web sites on it, then do the same for /home.
Why you are speaking about two different quotafiles? (Perfect Setup and ISPC quota setup) and In the manpage of quota it says: So the use of the quotafiles seems to depence on the quota version and not directly on an OS but OS can have diffenrent versions of quota. right? tom
