Thanks for your info. quota RPM has been instaled by the default instalation. Pls see below. [root at mailgw ~]# rpm -qa |grep quota quota-3.12-5 I will have to edit /etc/fstab . I will have to add usrquota,grpquota Now, my question is to which partition should I have to add usrquota,grpquota. Is it to /var partion should I have to add quota as All incoming mail will be stored as /var/spool/mail/username or Is it to /home partion should I have to add quota as All users are system users ( i.e- /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group to create account I use traditional useradd command as follows. useradd username my partion table of the hard disk is as follows. /var and /home partion are marked in BOLD letters. pls see below [root at mailgw ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 39G 1.6G 35G 5% / /dev/sda1 2.9G 53M 2.7G 2% /boot none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda5 39G 201M 37G 1% /home /dev/sda7 6.8G 2.4G 4.1G 38% /opt /dev/sda6 6.8G 48M 6.4G 1% /tmp /dev/sda8 52G 1.4G 48G 3% /var YOUR comments are welcome . > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > -- Thank you Indunil Jayasooriya -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
