I have setup quota for home directories on ubuntu 10.04 server. I followed these tutorials: 5 Steps to Setup User and Group Disk Quota and Disk Quota This code I used at fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /home ext4 defaults,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.grp,jqfmt=vfsv0 1 1

I have doubts about whether following steps are necessary: Adding quotaon -a >/dev/null 2>&1 to /etc/rc.local and adding quotacheck -avug to /etc/cron.daily/quotacheck

Tutorials I found refer to block size as 512 bytes, and sometimes as 1024 bytes. I got confused reading a post on LinuxForum.org for what a block size really means. So I tried… >>> More
