I have spent most of the day trying to impletment a ftp server as described at http://www.freebsddiary.org/ftp-anonymous.php. Step one says to either create a partition for incoming or use quotas to limit the space used. The examples go on using the partition option but I chose to use quotas and have followed the directions in the Handbook. I have a 4 GB disk that I wish to devote to ftp. I'm not sure if my vocabulary is correct but I'll try. I created 1 partition on 1 slice using the entire drive and mounted it as /ftp. So /dev/da1s1h is now mounted as /ftp. Next I created /ftp/etc, /ftp/pub, and /ftp/incoming as suggested in the example. After that, I went on to try and implement a quota for the ftp account on /ftp/incoming. But from everything I've read, quotas can only be implemented at the file system level which in this case would be /ftp? Does this mean I can not use quotas to limit the amount of space that can be used in /ftp/incoming? I chose not to create a separate partition for /ftp/incoming, thinking that by using quotas, I could reallocate space for it as needed without being locked in as I would by creating a separate partition. So what are my options? My goal is to imit the maximum amount of space available on /ftp/incoming while leaving the rest of the drive available for ftp downloads.
