Disk Quotas in VxFS

[KapilRaj]

hi champs,


How can i enable disk quotas in VxFS ?. I could do this successfully on an HFS file system. When tries the same for VxFS it gives error. HP-UX System Administration Tasks manual says VxFS support Disk quotas. but man page of quotaon command says it is to turn on disk quotas on an HFS filesystem.

Hi
i check the man pages and toy are rigth , it is telling that its good for HFS and dont talk about vxfs but i can tell you that i tried in my system with a vxfs /test file system and it work.

giving you the command .

can you tell what is the error that you are getting ?
# touch /test/quotas
# vi /etc/fstab # add quota in the filesystem options
/dev/vg00/lvol2 /test vxfs rw,suid,nolargefiles,quota 0 2
# quotaon /test # if you want the quotas to take effect now instead of reboot or you can umount and mount the file system .

I recently had some problems with using qouta's on our systems. User couldn't access files on a filesystem that had qouta turned on. You might want to look into the following patch

PHKL_16921

Patch Description: s800 10.20 VxFS quotas: w/o quota file, file access fails
