| 336865 | 2005-03-22 10:12:00 | I have been fiddling around trying to get disk quotas work on FC3 and RH9. As I find the situation often, there is good documentation but you have to read several before you get the entire picture ... anyway, I have it working. My question is about the amount of disk space currently used. I intend to implement this on a working SAMBA system once I get this sorted so I want to get it right! On my trial system, I get these conflicting amounts of disk space used: 1. Using repquota -a my example says 51512 blocks (51512*1024 = 53MB approx). 2. Using du -h I get 209MB (or using properties in GNOME = 199MB). I am not sure why this is so different?? Has anyone used disk quotas with SAMBA - I am yet to test what messages you get on the Windows PC when the quota is exceeded. |

That says what's available, what's used, on all disks. du is more directed... I think it takes the current 'PWD" as the base, unless you specify one. As for repquota you're the one who has done man repquota :) |
