i am getting error: Disk quota exceeded

[praveen..]

Hi,
my one server (snap drive) directory 170.120.6.158:/Temp is mounted on Unix server's directory /apps/data/cleanup.

#bdf | grep cleanup
170.120.6.158:/Temp 897449984 501597696 395852288 56% /apps/data/cleanup

It (170.120.6.158:/Temp) has still 18GB free space from its quota.


I am getting the following error while trying to uncompress a file. As you can see there is plenty of space on this partition. Please let me know how I can uncompress the file.



[praveen@server:/apps/LoyAn/cleanup/praveen]

$ uncompress SSGL.QUARTERLY.WH_20051009_20051231.BIN.Z

SSGL.QUARTERLY.WH_20051009_20051231.BIN: Disk quota exceeded

Praveen,
have you got quota system enabled, which may limit you to a certain amount of disk space.

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

could you post the output of

# quota -v

Robert-Jan

[praveen..]

with root login:

# quota -v
no disk quota for uid 0
#

i dont know: have I got quota system enabled?

if it needed, then please how to check?

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

does praveen have a quota set ?

# quota -v praveen

[praveen..]

# quota -v praveen
Disk quotas for praveen (uid 998):
Filesystem usage quota limit timeleft files quota limit timeleft

Hi Praveen,

Disable quota for user praveen,

-Arun

[praveen..]

[Arunvijai_4]

Hi Praveen,

Use # quotaoff [-v] filesys ...

-Arun

[praveen..]

should i give this command:

#quotaoff -v /apps/LoyAn/cleanup

please suggest

[praveen..]

should i give this command:

#quotaoff -v /apps/LoyAn/cleanup

Thanks

Your syntax is correct. 'quotaoff' link is pasted below.

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/quotaon.1M.html

(Note: Its use is not recommended.)

Do you have another working directory to offload the file?

[Michael Steele_2]

Came across this today in some old notes and thought of you mon ami.

1) # chmod -x /usr/bin/quota
This prevents quota from running. It's also a self documenting flag
in that a future system manager who tries to run /etc/quota will get
the "can not execute" error message.

2) # chmod -x /usr/bin/quote /etc/edquota
This appears to turn quota's completely off (which is what I
suspect the vast majority of people want) and not only speeds
up the login process, but you don't get any annoying messages.

3) # mv /usr/bin/quota /usr/bin/quota_check ; cp /bin/true /usr/bin/quota
This will still make the login program do the quota-check, but at
least
it goes by very very quickly now (as opposed to actualy checking every
single NFS mount with quota, and so on). Then, just run quota_check
whenever you want.


Note: Is your system trusted?

now i am able to uncompress that file
