fs /home blocks (soft = 100, hard = 200) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)

Hi

Here,

assigning 100 blocks to particular user as a soft limit and 200 blocks as hard limit.

If you want to see the block size of that filesystem,

# fstyp -v

Thanks & Regards

Hi Ramesh,
Thx for the reply, but can you please tell me of what needs to be done if i want to set qouta of 100 MB to /home FS for all the users, as i am not very much comfortable with block size,

Can you please tell me how much i sud specify as the block size for 100 MB qouta?

from "man 5 quota"

Disk quotas can be used by the system administrator to limit the number of files and file blocks owned by a user on a per-file-system basis. Separate limits can be established for both the number of files (inodes) and the number of 1-Kbyte blocks for each user.

....so you specify the number of 1-Kbyte blocks for the limit you wish to set.

I have tried to get my block size of the system but fstyp caoomad is giving the o/p as: Unknown file system type, can you please help me to know the block size of my system?

[OldSchool]

did you even notice the command works w/ 1k block size, or are you asking a different question?

[devarshi]

my /home details are as follows:-
--------------------------
df -g /home
/home (/dev/vg00/lvol_home ) :
8192 file system block size 8192 fragment size
1310720 total blocks 735579 total free blocks
729838 allocated free blocks 192192 total i-nodes
183890 total free i-nodes 183890 allocated free i-nodes
1073741830 file system id vxfs file system type
0x18 flags 255 file system name length
/home file system specific string
----------------
but when i have set quota for block size (soft=100, hard=200) I go the message "msgcnt 3 vxfs: mesg 042: vx_bsdquotaupdate - /home file system user 1101 disk limit reached" when i have reached 1.13 GB of /home for my account, but when i have set the quota for a different user for block size (soft=10, hard=20) it is giving me the same message after he has crossed almost same size as that of mine, can anyone answer my qoestion as to why this is happening?

I tried everything after that, including quotaon, unmounting and remounting of /home, but nothing worked, can anyone please help?
