Excedding alotted storage.

[Anton Fury]

I have a site that exceeded the alotted storage. It didn't suspend the site, as far as what it told me in DA.

I upped the bandwidth to unlimited, yet it still won't allow me to ftp any more files and I get the message that I have exceeded the space when I try.

I also went into DA and suspended the site and then unsuspened it, but I still get the same message when i try to upload files.

Any ideas?

You'll probably need to wait till DA updates overnight tonight (12:01am) ... then the new quotas should take effect.

Hello,

DA only suspends sites on the ground of bandwidth usage, not disk usage. The system quotas should handle the disk usage aspect of it thus DA shouldn't needs to suspend the site. If you can't upload it would mean that the quotas are probably full up.

You can type:
quota -v username
to see what the system thinks the quotas are set at. If there is a discrepancy, then you can run (RedHat):

/sbin/quotaoff -a;
/sbin/quotacheck -avugm;
/sbin/quotaon -a;

To recalculate the usage.

Got something strange here...
I run RH 8.0 on one server here, needed to recompile the kernel as support has ended, used the present kernel-source configure template for it with the newest kernel in the 2.4.x tree, but after recompile there no longer was quota support although it did work on two test stations here.
Anyone know what i missed ?

(New kernel is working great besides i have to monitor disk usage manually :()

For original topic: most of the time ProFTPD also gives out a quota error if you've used too much space (i think :D)
