neo user tried by: dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70files created successfully.

neo user tried by:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70

files created successfully. Again neo tried to create file having 70K using following command:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/neo/somefile bs=1024 count=70

But he is unable to create the file. Make the user can create the file less then 70K.

Answer and Explanation:

Very Tricky question from redhat. Actually question is giving scenario to you to implement quota to neo user. You should apply the quota to neo user on /home that neo user shouldn’t occupied space more than 70K.

1.vi /etc/fstab

2.touch /home/aquota.userCreating blank quota database file.

3.mount -o remount /home  Remounting the /home with updated mount options. You can verify that /home is mounted with usrquota options or not using mount command.

4.quotacheck -u /home  Initialization the quota on /home

5.edquota –u neo /home  Quota Policy editor

See the snapshot

1 Disk quotas for user neo (uid 500):

2 Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard

4 /dev/mapper/vo-myvol 2 30 70 1 0 0

Can you set the hard limit 70 and soft limit as you think like 30.
