Linux NFS Client ignores quotas

Linux NFS Client ignores quotas

[Kirk Ismay]

I have an nfs client that mounts /home from another linux file server. 
Both run Linux 2.4.25 kernels on Debian woody. Quotas are enabled for 
/home and are working properly on the server, but on the client they are 
ignored.

If I log in as a user who is over quota (about 300MB over quota, and the 
grace period has expired) on the client and copy a file, it succeeds. I 
can also modify any of the files.

The nfs server is:
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd --version
Universal NFS Server 2.2beta47

I'm not sure when this stopped working. I would appreciate suggestions 
on how to track down the source of the problem.

Let me know if additional information is needed.

Thanks.

The NFS protocol has no support for quotas. It is up to the server to
enforce those, not the client.

Cheers,

Thanks for the hint. Changing to the kernel nfs server did the trick.
