i want to implement disk quota on my /home filesystem (it is going to be a mail server) so i read tha appropriate how to's edited limits for the users and everything is fine but then for quota meintenance i stuck into quotacheck the man page says quotacheck should be run each time the system boots and mounts non- valid filesystems. This is most likely to happen after a system crash. AND It is also unwise to run quotacheck on a live filesystem as actual usage may change during the scan. To prevent this, quotacheck tries to remount the filesystem read-only before starting the scan. After the scan is done it remounts the filesystem read-write. but the 7.2.3 paragraph (Managing disk quotas) of centos 5 deployment guide ...... However, quotacheck can be run on a regular basis, even if the system has not crashed. Running the following command periodically keeps the quotas more accurate ....... i have looked also on the web and some suggest to run quotacheck only at boot time and others to run quotacheck regularly but i ahve not found a clear answer i wonder what are the comments of centos community on hte subject -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
