Hello! I know this must be an old topic, but I can't quite find an answer in the archive or the Howto. I would like to know if it's possible to show the user quota instead of the disk size when users open their home directoy as a share. (I think it's kind of misleading when it says "480GB free" to a user who has only 500 MB space.) Thanks! Marian
a) make sure your samba is compiled with quota support b) look in 'man smb.conf' for the parameter for quota Marian Steinbach wrote:> Hello! > > I know this must be an old topic, but I can't quite find an answer in > the archive or the Howto. > > I would like to know if it's possible to show the user quota instead of > the disk size when users open their home directoy as a share. > > (I think it's kind of misleading when it says "480GB free" to a user who > has only 500 MB space.) > > Thanks! > > Marian
if you're working with posix quotas, you have to specify a hard limit, which is then the limit for the user, which maps the drive, that has the quota on it greez Marian Steinbach wrote:> Hello! > > I know this must be an old topic, but I can't quite find an answer in > the archive or the Howto. > > I would like to know if it's possible to show the user quota instead of > the disk size when users open their home directoy as a share. > > (I think it's kind of misleading when it says "480GB free" to a user who > has only 500 MB space.) > > Thanks! > > Marian-- Michael Gasch Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology Department of Human Evolution Deutscher Platz 6 D-04103 Leipzig Germany Phone: 49 (0)341 - 3550 137
