X-Newsreader: Yet Another NewsWatcher 2.1.7
After extensive fiddling, I've found that FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE doesn't
want to play with quotas over NFS. The scenario:
Computer A has Volume X containing gobs of users that want quotas.
Volume X is shared via NFS and has quotas enabled and working fine.
Computer B is where the users log in to play. It shares Volume X as an
NFS client.
I need Computer B to enforce quotas on Volume X. I have my /etc/fstab
files set up roughly as:
Computer A:
/dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0s1e /var ufs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 3
/dev/sd0s1g /export/home1 ufs rw 1 4
/dev/sd1s1 /u ufs rw,userquota 1 5
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
Computer B:
/dev/sd0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/sd0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sd0s1f /usr ufs rw 1 2
/dev/sd0s1e /var ufs rw 1 3
computera:/u /u nfs rw,soft,bg,userquota 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
Trying to enable or check quotas on each machine shows:
ComputerA# quotacheck /u
ComputerA# quotaon /u
ComputerA# quota user
Disk quotas for user user (uid 1001):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/u 20857 40000 50000 65 4000 5000
ComputerA#
ComputerB# quotacheck /u
/u not found in /etc/fstab
ComputerB# quotaon /u
/u not found in fstab
ComputerB# quota user
Disk quotas for user user (uid 1001): none
ComputerB#
Suggestions or flaming attitude corrections greatly appreciated.
