    Configuring Disk Quotas


    To implement disk quotas, use the following steps:
    • Enable quotas per file system by modifying
    /etc/fstab
    • Remount the file system(s)
    • Create the quota files and generate the disk usage
    table
    • Assign quotas
    Linux System Administration

    Configuring Disk Quotas


    • Enabling Quotas: Edit fstab to enable usrquota

    LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1


    LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
    LABEL=/users /users ext3 exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota 1 2
    LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
    LABEL=SWAP-sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    Linux System Administration

    Configuring Disk Quotas


    • Remounting the File Systems: Issue the umount
    command followed by the mount command to remount
    the file system in which quota has been implemented
    (umount /users;mount /users)
    • Creating the Quota Database Files: Use quotacheck
    command to create quota.user file
    quotacheck -cu /users
    • Assigning Quotas per User: assigning the disk
    quotas with the edquota command (edquota
    <username>)
    Disk quotas for user web_cc (uid 524):
    Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
    /dev/sdb1 988612 1024000 1075200 7862 0 0

    Setting Printer

    • The Printer Configuration Tool allows users to


    configure a printer in Red Hat Linux. This tool helps
    maintain the printer configuration file, print spool
    directories, and print filters. Starting with version 9,
    Red Hat Linux defaults to the CUPS (Common Unix
    Printing System).
    • To use the Printer Configuration Tool you must have
    root privileges. To start the application, select
    Applications => System Settings => Printing
    Linux System Administration

    Setting Printer

    The following types of print queues can be configured:


    • Locally-connected — a printer attached directly to the computer
    through a parallel or USB port.
    • Networked CUPS (IPP) — a printer that can be accessed over a
    TCP/IP network via the Internet Printing Protocol, also known as IPP
    (for example, a printer attached to another Red Hat Linux system
    running CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) on the network).
    • Networked UNIX (LPD) — a printer attached to a different UNIX
    system that can be accessed over a TCP/IP network (for example, a
    printer attached to another Red Hat Linux system running LPD (Line
    Printer Daemon) on the network).
    • Networked Windows (SMB) — a printer attached to a different system
    which is sharing a printer over a SMB network (for example, a printer
    attached to a Microsoft Windows™ machine).
    • Networked Novell (NCP) — a printer attached to a different system
    which uses Novell's NetWare network technology.
    • Networked JetDirect — a printer connected directly to the network
    through HP JetDirect instead of to a computer.

    Monitoring the System

    • Monitor Disk Usage (df)


    • Monitor CPU and Memory utilization (top)
    • Monitor process/services (ps, pgrep)
    • Monitor logs (/var/log/messages)

    • GUI Tool (Applications System Tools System


    Performance)

    o Select the kernel and type a
    o Write single at the end of the line (after leaving a
    space)
    o Boot by pressing b
    • Booting into Rescue Mode
