Setting user quota on Ext4fs

Setting user quota on Ext4fs
	(Project) Quota on XFS and Ext4FS

Registering quota in fstab

Having an ext4 filesystem on dev, register the quota in /etc/fstab:

dev    mountpoint  ext4     defaults,usrquota 0       0

(Re)mount the filesystem

mount -o remount mountpoint

Activate the quota

quotaon -a quotacheck -v dev -f quotacheck: Scanning dev [mountpoint] done quotacheck: Old group file name could not been determined. Usage will not be subtracted. quotacheck: Checked 2 directories and 1 files

Set quota limits for a user

quotatool -u user -bq 500M -l '600 Mb' mountpoint

Check quota

To see if it works and how much space is in use:

repquota mountpoint *** Report for user quotas on device dev Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- me -- 20 1000m 30000m 3 0 0
