Home Directory Quota

[johnaris]

Hi All,

I need answers, we have almost a hundred plus users that is bind to the OD for authentication and management, We have set all users to a limit of 5GB of home folders using the WGM, we have done this because most of the users store’s mp3’s and pictures in their account which are really not work related. My Questions is some of the users home folder will exceed to the limit we have set, some would go around 50GB, why is this happening? Anyone want to share ideas?

Hi.

Question- Is the drive that houses the share for your users home folders enabled for disk quotas?
I had a similar issue when I first set up my OD master with home directory users. Several of them blew right past the quotas I had set for their accounts. Turns out you need to enable disk quotas on the actual drive that is housing the home directory share in WGM. Note that it can’t be done at the share level, but on the drive or RAID that houses the share.

Try that and see if it works.
