How to set user quota in any directory?

[Md. Shafiullah]

I am using hpux 11.1. I want to set user quota in his home directory. i.e: /home/test. What are the steps to do that?

Quotas cannot be configured on a per directory basis, only per file system. So, you can set quota limits for a user in the /home file system, that means that if you set a quota of 100 MB, the users won't be able to create more files after reached the quota on any directory under /home.

# touch /filesystem/quotas
# edquota username
fs /hpium blocks (soft = 100, hard = 200) inodes (soft = 100, hard = 200)
(Here 1 block = 1 kbyte)
or
fs /mnt blocks time limit = 10.00 days, files time limit = 20.00 days
fs / blocks time limit = 0 (default), files time limit = 0 (default)
# vi /etc/fstab
Add option ‘quota’ to the line containing the file system.
/dev/vg00/lvol12 /hpium vxfs delaylog,quota 0 2
# unmount /filesystem
# mount /filesystem
# repquota –v /filesystem # to see all quota in a file system
# quota –v username # to see status of particular user quota

# quotaon /filesystem # not recommended to use
# quotaoff /filesystem # not recommended to use
