[lug] Disk Quotas

[Greg Horne]

Hey all!

     I am running RH 7 with kernel 2.4.5 and I would like to be able to set 
disk quotas for my users.  I currently have a partition for /, and /boot.  I 
would like to set quotas on my home directory, so users like /home/greg 
would be limited and webusers like /home/webs/gregweb would also be limited. 
  I have done some looking around on the net but nobody tells me how to do 
this.
     My main problem is this:  Do I have to turn my /home directory into 
another partition or is there an easier way?  Also, in userconf when I edit 
a user it has a soft and hard limit.  When I choose custom ie. 50000 (from 
the example) for the user does that mean 50 megabytes or kilobytes?
     So to sum it up.  How do I convert my /home directory (which is part of 
the / partition) into a directory with quota support?

Thanks,
Greg Horne
