Disk Quota Fail

edited Jun 9, 2011 3:50AM in Oracle Solaris System Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered
Hello all,
I just set up quota to prevent two users from using more than there fair share of space, however the limit is not working as expected, here are the steps taken to set up the quota,
/export/home is part of the / fs

- added the rq mount option to / fs in vfstab
- remounted the / fs (mount -o remount,quota /)
- created a quotas file (touch /quotas ; chmod root:root quotas ; chmod 0600 /quotas)
- used edquota to set soft and hard limits to the below;
fs / blocks (soft = 2000000, hard = 410000) inodes (soft = 300, hard = 500)

The issue;
I think the hard limit above should equal 3.9 Gb however when testing with mkfile, 4.8Gb is used before saying its over the hard limit, (3.3G for soft limit)

Howdy, Stranger!
