Article title: Set the disk quota in Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.
1. check your/etc/fstab. assume that the file without quota is not set as follows.

/Dev/hda1/ext2 defaults 1 1
/Dev/hda2/home ext2 defaults 1 2
/Home is a separate partition.

2. to set the disk space occupied by usr1 in the/home/usr1 Directory, first change/etc/fstab as follows:

/Dev/hda1/ext2 defaults 1 1
/Dev/hda2/home ext2 defaults, usrquota 1 2

3. log on as root and create an empty file named quota. user in the partition directory where quota needs to be set.

# Touch/home/quota. user
# Chmod 600/home/quota. user

4. restart the server

5. allocate the disk quota and the maximum number of files to the specified user.

# Edquota-u user1
Quota for user user1
/Dev/hda2: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 5000, hard = 6500)
Inodes in use: 356, limits (soft = 1000, hard = 1500)

You only need to change the limits.

Note:

1. when editing/etc/fstab, note that it is usrquota, not userquota.

2. you can view a user's disk quota, such as # quota jephe
