Read the man pages for fstab and quota, which will lead you to related man pages. Pardon the RTFM. ;-) You can use a simple script to copy quotas for all users, so only the first need be done manually. Good idea to except your account(s), root, and system related UIDs. Depending on how your filesystems are set up, you may wish to use group quotas. This is especially true for filesystems that have both user files and systems files, where filling the disk would be a bad idea for the system. As an example if you have mail or user directories on the same filesystem that syslog writes to. Always a good idea to spread disk IO around and better to have a playground filesystem that only users affect users and not the overall system. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
