Advanced Server Overview and Installation

Configuring Advanced Server for UNIX Restricting the user’s disk space

Product Manual U7613-J-Z815-6-76

Ê Create a directory for this user:

cd /home

mkdir user1

chown user1 user1

chgrp DOS---- user1

chmod 775 user1

Ê Share the directory:

net share user1=c:/home/user1

Ê Assign rights for the user “user1”:

net perms c:/home/user1 /grant user1:fullcontrol

Ê Now configure “quotas” under UNIX for the /home directory:

Ê In the /home directory, create a blank file called “quotas”:

> quotas

– Set the limits for the UNIX user “user1”:

edquota user1

– A temporary file with the following contents is opened using the vi editor.

fs /home blocks (soft = 0, hard = 0) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)

– Enter the limits, for example:

fs /home blocks (soft = 11000, hard = 15000) inodes (soft = 0, hard = 0)

– Exit the editor and save the file.

Ê Enable “quotas” support for the directory. In the

/etc/vfstab file, change the line for /home for example:

/dev/ios0/sdisk000s5 /dev/ios0/rsdisk000s5 /home ufs 0 yes rw to:

/dev/ios0/sdisk000s5 /dev/ios0/rsdisk000s5 /home ufs 0 yes rq

Ê Activate the change: quotaon -a

Ê The disk space restriction has now been configured successfully, and can be checked

with the quota -v user1 command. Users can view their own disk space under UNIX

with the quota -v command.
