Assuming that /home is created and mounted on separate partition such as /dev/sda2
First edit your /etc/fstab file and enable disk quota Code:
vi /etc/fstab Code:
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2 Code:
mount -o remount /home Now create /home/aquota.user file and set permission Code:
> /home/aquota.user chmod 600 /home/aquota.user Code:
quotacheck -vagum Code:
edquota -u vivek Disk quotas for user vivek (uid 1001): Code:
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/hdb1 24 50000 51000 3513 0 0 1000 = 1 MB so 50MB = 51000 (it is 1024 actually) Save and close the file. Now user vivek cannot exceed his disk quota.
