Hi All,
F230, 5.1D4, 256MB RAM, 2 volumes, predominatly CIFS.
I'm trying to over ride a default quota using a group quota, so that some of my users get a bigger quota in their home directories than others.
The home directories are in /vol/.vol0/users, so the default quota line in quota file is:
* user@/vol/vol0/users 50M 2K
which works fine.
The line before this one in the quota file is:
bigusers group@/vol/vol0/users 100M 4K
where bigusers is a group specified in etc/group on the toaster and whose membership is a sub set of all th users.
'quota report' shows the 50M quota for the users, but those in the 'bigusers' group only have 50M as well. Anyone got any ideas?
I have tried a quota off/on cycle after a member of bigusers created some new files, but to no avail, just in case this is related to Bug 5660

User quotas and group quotas are two different things, and they are enforced separately. A specific "user" quota can override a default "user" quota, but a specific "group" quota cannot.
So what you've done is put a 50M quota on every user, including the ones in bigusers. And in addition, you have put a 100M quota on all files in the bigusers group.
I'm afraid you'll need to add a separate 100M user quota line for each person in the bigusers group.
