in RHEL 8.9, I have a 100gb XFS formatted
/home
partition; all local user accounts in /etc/passwd
have their home directories under /home
. And all user accounts primary gid is and will always be 100 {users}.
I would like to apply a quota of 1GB per user on their /home
account as an administration effort to manage data. I have 80 users currently in /etc/passwd
can expect it to grow back up over 150.
I currently have in /etc/fstab
UUID=12345 /home xfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,uquota,gquota 0 0
- What are the correct arguments to pass to the xfs_quota
command?
- If I have 80 users, do I have to do 80 xfs_quota
commands one for each account under /home
? Or can it be done with one command instance?
- should a mount -o remount /home
work? I'm finding it doesn't and either a successful umount
or reboot
is needed. Will a umount -l
work? How dangerous is this on an active system with users logged in?
- For all new users in the future, will a new xfs_quota
need to be performed on their home folder or is there a way to have it automatically applied?
