[SOLVED] CentOS - Disk quota exceeded

Recommended Posts

Okay first off, Saying only know the basics when it comes to using unix, maybe an understatement. however i don't normally have many problems, and most I can solve, but now i am stuck!

I am running CentOS release 5.3 (Final), and i started to get "Disk quota exceeded" i found and account which had the quota to high and dropped it down, but the problem persisted,

 

I logged in a root and..

 

I checked for remaining disk space

Filesystem          1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/simfs            41943040  18569340  23373700  45% /

none                  4079792        4  4079788  1% /dev

seams fine

 

checked quota

*** Report for user quotas on device /dev/simfs
Block grace time: 00:00; Inode grace time: 00:00
                        Block limits                File limits
User            used    soft    hard  grace    used  soft  hard  grace
----------------------------------------------------------------------

techie    -- 6872592 10240000 10240000            215     0     0

There are more but didn't see the point posting all

 

Ran a check that fails due to Disk quota exceeded

quotacheck: Scanning /dev/simfs [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 19824 directories and 184122 files
quotacheck: Can't create new quotafile //aquota.user.new: Disk quota exceeded
quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Disk quota exceeded
quotacheck: Can't create new quotafile //aquota.group.new: Disk quota exceeded
quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Disk quota exceeded

 

Decided i needed more help.. posted here

 

So that's it..  :shrug:
