group.quota and user.quota consumiing too much space
How can I stop growing of this file?
I tried to make it of 0 size using 'cp /dev/null group.quota' as root user, it says "cp: quota.user: permission denied" !. Even to root user.
It is consuming too much space. How to free these hard disk space.

Re: group.quota and user.quota consumiing too much space
"The AdvFS file system creates quota files to track quotas, grace periods, and fileset usage. Quota files are maintained within the fileset but, unlike UFS, the user cannot delete or create them. Quota files are present in the fileset even if quota limits have not been established." - AdvFS Administration guide.
Hope this helps.

Re: group.quota and user.quota consumiing too much space
root@es40> ls -ls quota.*
-rw-r----- 1 root operator 4202496 Jul 21 2003 quota.user
-rw-r----- 1 root operator 4194304 May 15 2002 quota.group
Sizes are about 4 MB for each quota file.
Now it is clear to me that even quota is not enabled quota.user & quota.group file will exit on advfs filesystem.
One thing I wish to know, how filesystem is protecting root user to delete these files or make them of zero value using > quota.user. The permission of these files are 640 and owner is root!

Re: group.quota and user.quota consumiing too much space
Weren't there no.s to the left of the permissions? When I run the command on both V4.x & V5.x I get:
16 -rw-r----- 1 root operator 163840 May 5 09:01 quota.group
24 -rw-r----- 1 root operator 196608 May 5 09:01 quota.user
So in my case quota.group is 16 KBs and quota.user is 24 KBs.
The quota.* files are special files so the OS won't let you do anything with them even as root.
