Ended up it is the space. When I read it from the page, I though there was one... :) But now there seems to be another problem. I have quota installed for /usr, does that effect the user's quota for /usr/home? (I was expecting it to, but it didn't appear so when I set it up on my server.) When I do a quota -v username as root, I can see the limit, but it doesn't show me the amount used even after exceeding the quota limit. Once again, thanks a lot to all of you who helped! :) Frankie Christopher Michaels wrote: > Just for the sake of argument, lets go through the steps 1 by 1 and makes > sure we're at the same place. > > 1.
