I looked already but I look again. I searched the disk category and got no hits searching "quota". Here's hoping I missed it =)

Check deadcat...I seem to recall a quota script there that you should be able to use with hobbit.

I've got a server that I have implemented linux quotas. I'm interested in knowing if any one out there has any kind of an ext script made already that can monitor this for me. The feature I'm mostly interested in is notifying me if a user has broken his soft limit. This will give me time to contact them before they reach their hard limit and calm hobbit down.

I'm not really looking forward to making one, but if I have to I will tough it up!

Hopefully someone out there is nice enough to have both already prepared one as well as willing to share it!

Thanks in advance! Josh

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??

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.

Galen,

Does your output look like this?

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).

Galen,

Excellent! I look forward to seeing the script next week (or when you get around to it =)
