How to setup user quotas ?

For those having the problem setting up the quota on XFS file system, hope the below tips would help you. I finally got this work for my server.

1. Follow the steps on this link.
https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=557

(Ignore the step 7,8).

2. Enter the command line "/usr/sbin/repquota /" to make sure the quota is working.

3. Follow the XFS instructions on this post page 1.

Reference sites:

- https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=42
- https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_7&p=quota

It still doesn't work for KVM with XFS file system.
Its being 2 days i'm struggling to find a solution for this.
Would definitely be very helpful if someone could provide clear instructions for users with no /home partition.

I have managed to fix the quota in CentOS 7 +CWP - xfs formatted.

Code: [Select]

mount | grep ' / '
If the result is: /dev/vda1 on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)

Then

Code: [Select]

nano /etc/default/grub

Add to the end of line of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=

Code: [Select]

rootflags=uquota,gquota
Before

Code: [Select]

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200"
After

Code: [Select]

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 crashkernel=auto console=ttyS0,115200 rootflags=uquota,gquota"

Rebuild the grub config:

Code: [Select]

cp /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.orig
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Then update the fstab

Code: [Select]

nano /etc/fstab
Change from

Code: [Select]

UUID=5f18...a0a / xfs defaults        0 0To

Code: [Select]

UUID=5f18...a0a / xfs defaults,usrquota,grpquota        0 0
Reboot

Now login to the cwp and update each package and check while saving (Update quota for all users using this package, also disables inode limits !)

If your hosting company uses openvz platform and you use a container the only thing you have to do is the following
1. Ask them to enable second level quotas for your container
2. After it is enabled then go to Users --> User quota. You will ensure that quota is working
3. Finally go to Packages --> Packages and after you select each one of them click "update" having the "update quota" enabled.

You are ready to go and list your accounts and ensure that "Disk usage" is working normally.

After 2 year.

Hello team,

I tried the above-mentioned steps, but the quota is still not working.
Can anyone help me with this.?

I am using the following configuration

CPU Model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5650 @ 2.67GHz
CPU Details: 16 Core (2667 MHz)
Distro Name: CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)
Kernel Version: 3.10.0-1127.13.1.el7.x86_64
Platform: x86_64 kvm

The file type is .xfs

I am getting issues in both admin and client panels.

In admin panel when I check inside "List accounts" section, it shows 0kb/100kb

In client section, it shows some random size.

In the file explorer, when logged in from the client portal, it shows 0kb / 0kb

Can someone suggest some solution for this?

Hi its 2020 sorry to dig up an old post, but is there an auto script for this QUOTA Setup yet?

Regards

how do you make it a hard quota, and stop when it reaches, also, how do you get the email from the root / to /home where the space actually is

Could you please someone guide me on setting up quota for user accounts properly?

I am using A KVM vps (/dev/vda1  is mounted on  /    and home folder is inside /   )

When I go to disk quota setup menu in CWP it says Quota Configuration file /usr/local/cwp/.conf/quota_part.conf Already Exist!

/usr/local/cwp/.conf/quota_part.conf   file has  /


 (My issues is that disk space usage doesn't reflect on users control panel)  it stays at  Usage  0%   0/1024MB
(in CWP admin panel I can see disk space usage properly 700MB/1024MB)  The issue appears to be only in CWP users' panel

Hi

See the 2 images. In list packages (Reseller login), usage is almost correct. In user login there is a different usage story.

Any help?

Note: If you want emails and user home to be under the same quota then /var/vmail and /home need to be on the same partition.

I have my /var/vmail and /home on same partition.

This is not working

Any suggestions?
