quotas over NFS

quotas over NFS

[Laurent HENRY]

Hi

 i'm coming here with a question i think you've heard a lot before.
I didn't find any documentation about it anywhere about setting up quotas over 
NFS

On my Suse 8.1 (kernel 2.4.21168) system with 3-10 pre1 quota-tools
All local quotas works well but i can't use it through NFS

s a test, i'm accessing the /home (the one with quota) partition mounting it 
locally by NFS

#mount -t nfs aa.bb.cc.dd:/home/ /mnt/

#quota laurent
Disk quotas for user laurent (uid 504): 
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   
grace
      /dev/sdb1  155813*  20000   25000             505       0       0        
aa.bb.cc.dd::/home
                 155813*  20000   25000             505       0       0  

And i still can't write while in local partition(normal behavior because i'm 
over quota)
#cd /home
#cp big-file big-file2
sd(8,17): write failed, user block limit reached.
                                                 
But on the NFS mounted partition
#cd /mnt
#cp big-file big-file2
all is Ok and the file is written

Can anybody give me a clue ? Or at least the URL toward some explanation of 
the correct use

PS:
the quota_v2 module is loaded
The portmapper is running well
rpcinfo -p give me: portmapper,rquotad,mountd,nfs,nlockmgr running

It sounds like you're using the user space nfsd. Quotas don't work
with unfsd; you should try the kernel nfsd instead.
