Hello, I have a problem with quota under linux and samba : the OS detects that the user is overquota but it can still write on disk. Here is what I want to do: - 1 Active directory under WIN 2K - 1 Linux server (Gentoo distribution) design to offer personnal storage I have activated the user and group quotas on the desired partition: /dev/sda8 /home ext3 noatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 2 The quotas are correctly working with a limit set to 500MB (soft limit at 500MB, hard limit at 526MB) I have registered the server onto the AD server. The nsswitch.conf file has been edited to add winbind: passwd: compat files winbind shadow: compat files winbind group: compat files winbind And finally here is my samba configuration (which must be buggy): [global] workgroup = DOMAINE netbios name = stk2n1 winbind separator = + idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes template homedir = /home/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash security = ADS encrypt passwords = yes realm = DOMAINE.local password server = adsrv.domaine.local #the name of the Active directory server server string = stockage %h [home] path = /home read only = no guest ok = no guest only = no directory mask = 0770 create mode = 0770 If I put more than 500MB on the network folder, the overhead is detected but the user can still write on the disk: Disk quotas for user DOMAINE+fff7878 (uid 10179) : Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard /dev/sda8 669592* 500000 524288 64 20000 24000 Where am I wrong? Thanks in advance for your help, please ask for any further information that might be missing. Pierre
