    Hello
    silly question, but when we set up the first time the quota management on a server, and when we add a disk, you can redo the manupulation a second time, or what is lost?

    If possible, how?

    Thank you

    Did you mount the new disk using quota options like in the tutorial?
    You can recalculate your quotas easily
    Code:
    #First turn off quota
    quotaoff -ug /
    
    #Then backup and reset the quota database
    mv /aquota.user /aquota.user.bck
    mv /aquota.group /aquota.group.bck
    
    #Then run quotacheck to get the quota back in sync
    quotacheck / -vugm
    
    #Finally turn back on quota
    quotaon -ug /

    Hello, Thanks for your response
    This is not to replace
    I add a drive, I would mount the / var on that disk and then reconfigure quota management.
    It's your quota have several managements, or is that done only on a hard drive?
    Thank you
    Mz ;)

    You need seperate quotafiles for your /var mount point,
    just use /var instead of / in the above codes.

    oui c'est possible :) No je ne parle pas le francaise :(
    You can/need to add additional quota for your /var mount
    You need to mount /var with quota options like the / mount point and set them up the same way, just use /var instead of / this time.

    Just pick any matching "Perfect Server" Howto and go to the "Install Quota" section and redo the steps for your new disk.

    En example Debian 8

    nano /etc/fstab
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
    # device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
    # that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    # / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
    UUID=3dc3b58d-97e5-497b-8254-a913fdfc5408 / ext4 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1
    
    UUID=34fd247g-56a2-493b-8347-3f3267f2s46h /var ext4 errors=remount-ro,usrjquota=quota.user,grpjquota=quota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 0 1
    # swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
    UUID=36bf486e-8f76-492d-89af-5a8eb3ce8a02 none swap sw 0 0
    
    

    Code:
    mount -o remount /var
    quotacheck -avugm
    quotaon -avug

    UUID of specific disk:
    blkid /dev/sdaX

    All disks:
    blkid

    Or just
    ls -Al /dev/disk/by-uuid

    quotacheck -avugm does recalculate all quotas. In this case quotas is already activated for / so you can't redo it.
    Just run
    Code:
    quotacheck /var -vugm

    If you want to recalculate all quotas:
    Code:
    #First turn off quota
    quotaoff -ug /
    quotaoff -ug /var
    
    #Then backup and reset the quota database
    mv /aquota.user /aquota.user.bck
    mv /aquota.group /aquota.group.bck
    mv /var/aquota.user /var/aquota.user.bck
    mv /var/aquota.group /var/aquota.group.bck
    
    #Then run quotacheck to get the quota back in sync
    quotacheck / -vugm
    quotacheck /var -vugm
    
    #Finally turn back on quota
    quotaon -ug /
    quotaon -ug /var

    Thank you, but I do not make quota on the disk.
    Because you put me commands to disable and re-enable the Quota.
    I will not say I do not understand.
    Applying these commands:
    Logically it should go?

    Yes :) You currently just need to calculate and enable quota for /var
