Enabling quotas for a filesystem in Webmin
If the main page of the module shows User Quotas Active (or *Group Quotas Active*) under the Status column for the filesystem, then quotas have already been enabled. If not, to configure and turn on quotas for an ext2 or ext3 filesystem, follow these steps :
If the filesystem already appears in the list on the main page of the module, quotas have already been configured and you can skip to step 5.
Go to the Disk and Network Filesystems module and click on the filesystem you want to enable quotas on.
Change the Use Quotas? option to either User only, Group only or User and Group depending on which kinds of quota you want to enforce.
Click the Save button.
If an error saying that the filesystem is already in use appears, just click the
Apply to Permanent List button. Quotas can still be enabled without needing to reboot, and will be automatically re-enabled when the system is next rebooted.
Back in the Disk Quotas module, your filesystem should now be visible. Click on the Enable Quotas link to activate quotas now.
Assuming all goes well, after a short delay the browser will return to the list of quotas and the Status column will have changed to User Quotas Active.
