Hi everybody,
I'm currently working on the quota limits in dovecot, and Maildir
quota is working fine, it reports the correct numbers.
But our users also have additional space where they can put files, and
I would like both to have the same quota of 2 GB. So mails + files
should not exceed 2 GB.
What is the best way to solve this?
I already tried the following:
- I put the files in /path/to/user/Maildir/Storage/ , where /path/to/
user/Maildir is the users mail directory. But obviously dovecot does
not see that files and gives the wrong numbers.
- I tried to use the fs quota backend ("Disk quota"), but I don't
get
it running, I always get an empty result:
dovecot -n:
plugin:
quota: maildir:User quota
quota_rule: *:storage=2G
quota_rule2: *:messages=50000
quota_rule3: Trash:storage=10%%
quota_rule4: Spam:storage=20%%
quota2: fs:Disk quota
quota2_rule: *:storage=2G
quota2_rule2: *:messages=50000
TAG GETQUOTA "User quota"
* QUOTA "User quota" (STORAGE 473178 2048000 MESSAGE 20693 50000)
TAG OK Getquota completed.
TAG GETQUOTA "Disk quota"
* QUOTA "Disk quota" ()
TAG OK Getquota completed.
I don't know why fs is not working. /path/to/user/Maildir is a simple
local ext4 partition. In the future it will be a nfs share.
Can you point me to a solution, so the user has a limit for both,
mails and additional files? Where is the best way to place the
additional files?
Michael

Or you store the extra-data via IMAP. :-) Taking a stab from the non-IMAP side: How shall the limit be enforced when the other data is storred?> I don't know why fs is not working. /path/to/user/Maildir is a simple local > ext4 partition. In the future it will be a nfs share.Do you have: a) system users b) quota initialized on the file system (quotaon) c) quota database updated (quotacheck) d) quota assigned to an user (quota -v user, edquota user, quotatool) You have just one quota, configure Dovecot to use just the fs quota. Read the mail archive about NFS quota, I remember some glitches.
