Hello Mike,
Thank you again for your support, this is the output of mount and fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump
Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw,userquota,groupquota
2 2
/dev/ad0s1g /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
$ mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, with quotas, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1g on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
I just want the quota to read the Shell user (home directory) size plus the
INBOX mails
which stay in /var/mail/$UserName
Currently the quota reads the home directory and ignores the $inbox
Thak you mike
