Automatic Quota Setup

To detect available disk  partitions and  setup disk quota automatically, use the following command,

Command:

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/setupquota --auto

Enable Quota On a Disk Mount

You can enable disk quota on the new disk  partition which is  already mounted using the following command,

Command:

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/setupquota --mount <mount path>

Example:

Enable disk quota on /home2

/usr/local/eenos/scripts/setupquota --mount /home2

Sometimes you may need to reboot the server to enable disk quota on the root partition (/). Some servers need xfs quota enabled on the boot loader prompt.  You can also set up the disk quota in the generic Linux way.
