Problem occur when you try to setup disc quotas for users with a numeric username (not specially on raid devices). You need alfa-numeric usernames to quota works, otherwise it choose random users to set the quota. Weellll - None of my usernames are entirely numeric I'm using redhat 8 with quotas on a new 120G ext3 file system and as I "rsync -a" files over I notice some usernames aren't showing up in repquota Once I get a couple of thousand users transferred repquota starts segfaulting [It's not really a backup, don't worry about the mountpoint name] [root@backup users]# ls -l /backup/aquota.* -rw------- 1 root root 8192 May 12 23:22 /backup/aquota.group -rw------- 1 root root 149504 May 12 23:22 /backup/aquota.user [root@backup users]# repquota /backup *** Report for user quotas on device /dev/hdc1 Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days Block limits File limits User used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Segmentation fault Is the the same fault? It gets worse as the number of users goes up Actually the segfault stops when I used the -n flag to repquota But still not all user-id's show up. have you tried this with a later distribution (RHEL 3 or RHL 9)? I've not, its not a box we can update easily. We since had such bad problems of users reportedly using a large quantity of disk space when a "find" for that user reports otherwise that we had to rebuild quotas entirely. |
