[hobbit] Monitoring linux quotas

[Galen Johnson]

Yep...solaris and OSX use the same commands for local filesystem quotas.
There's a wrapper script for 'repquota -av' that needs to be tweaked to
work correctly that we may be able to modify...I need to do this for
another environment so I may get to it this weekend or next week.

 

For your info, NetApp is basically a standalone nfs server (of cifs if
you want to add windows mounts as well).

I am using "linux quotas" on Centos 5.1 (a RHEL derivative).

I've never heard of NetApp.  The command I'm using to check the quotas
are edquota and repquota.  I had to stick in the quota options in
/etc/fstab too.  Does this help confirm I'm using the right quotas? 

Here is what the RPM says:

Name   : quota
Arch   : i386
Epoch  : 1
Version: 3.13
Release: 1.2.3.2.el5
Size   : 783 k
Repo   : installed
Summary: System administration tools for monitoring users' disk usage. 

Description:
The quota package contains system administration tools for monitoring
and limiting user and or group disk usage per filesystem.

There's actually a better netapp monitoring tool for Hobbit (which I
think works for BB as well).  I've found several snippets of various
commands and perl scripts that could probably be cobbled together into a
decent monitor.

You may be thinking of this:

     http://support.bb4.com/archive/200009/msg00877.html 

which uses rsh to get disk usage/quota from NetApp fileservers.

Dunno if that helps, but it might give you a place to start.  How does
the system tell you the users are exceeding their quotas??
