I've created quite a few virtual sites on my RaQ4i and have allocated 50MB to each of these sites. Within each of these sites, I've created one or two users with a quota of 20MB each.

However, if any email is sent to either of these virtual sites, I get an error something like this on the admin account:

www.domain.com is over it's quota
Allocated: 0.0MB
Used: 1.5MB

Why is it allocating 0.0MB? And mail is being stored and received just fine- but I'm getting that error. I discussed this with Rackshack's Tech Support and they told me that this is an error related to Cobalt and Cobalt Tech has a fix for this. But I couldn't find anything like this on the Cobalt site. Has anybody else experienced anything like this?

Thanks

Hi,

I have been getting this error to. I must be something to do with the latest RAQ patches etc.

Also, i click on active moniter and go to disk space, sites are showing unlimited. eh :confused: :confused: is this possible? Some one a cobalt needs to do some correcting.

Yep! I'm getting the "Unlimited" Error as well!

I think some patches must remove the quota settings or something. Go to the control panel and make sure the sites have a dedicated amount of space. Even if a number shows up in the quota box resubmit it.

I have had this a happen a number of times and this always fixes it. I am not sure how the Raq quota system works. I often find it to be incorrect.

I had the same problem (RaQ 4). I just went into Site Management, Site Settings and re-saved teh "offending" site. Waited a few minutes and the warning went away (as well as the "unlimited" amount).

Seems like a bug, but at least it's easy to get around :cool:

I am having a similar problem.

During the process of installing several virtual sites, I noticed the active monitor alert flashing. After checking, I found that it was indicating the / "root" directory was low on disk space. I also received an email to this effect. The email stated this:

Total disk space: 726.04 MB
Free disk space: 49.87 MB
Percent Used: 93 %

However, when I issue the du command, it is only showing that I have used approximately 835 MB on the entire server. The hard disk is 14 GB on a RAQ4.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

The unix du command shows you the amount of space unsed in the current directory (with subdirectories). It will not show you the amount of space free in a file system.

Try entering df -h. This will show you how much is allocated and used per file system. Depending on your configuration, you should at least have a "/" (root) and /home file system. Something in the "/" file system is filling it up.

Holler if you need more.

Do a search ... this is a know issue on the raqs. The usage reports are installed on the root partition and they quickly fill up that partition. Also, several other items reside on the root partition that cause problems. Many people have moved items like /usr and other directories to the home partition and symlinked them.

Thanks for the help folks! :beer:

Apparently the /usr directory was eating up a lot of space. I moved it to the /home directory and created a sym link. Hopefully I want have any problems from doing that.

Thanks again!

Ed

How do you create a sym link?

-Abbas

sym link (symbolic link)

ln -s /directory/file_or_directory_location /file_or_directory_sybolic_location

Did this work for you?
