Hey there, The easiest way to check if quotas are on is to type "mount". You should see something like: /dev/ad2s1e on /usr/home (ufs, local, with quotas, soft-updates, writes: sync 1067 async 31236, reads: sync 15691 async 1162) If not, then you haven't got quotas running on the file system. Some things to check are: 1) Did you compile the QUOTA support into your kernel? It's not part of the GENERIC kernel. 2) The mount output. :) (as above) 3) Your /etc/rc.conf has something like: enable_quotas="YES" check_quotas="YES" By the way, you can also set the quota for a user by using edquota ( it comes with the base system ). Hope this helps you. Cheers, Marc On Sat, Jun 10, 2000 at 11:33:45AM +0200, Gabriel Ambuehl wrote: > Hello, > I've there got some questions..
