I'm sort of new to all this, so here goes :
I want to create a root directory called, say, dog. I then want to create a subdirectory called pup.
I want to limit the size to which pup can grow to, say, 50 Mb.
The thing is, the quota qtree command won't accept slashes in the qtree name. Also, if I create "dog" by doing # mkdir dog
then do #cd dog # mkdir pup
then go to the quotas file on /etc and do
/dog/pup 10G 10K
and run quota on
I get "/dog/pup is not a quota tree.
In short, how do I set quotas on file systems a number of steps down the
tree ? Why can't I do
/dog/pup 5G /dog/puppy 5G
