Hi Michael,

We are evaluating the need of deleting user/group quota.

When the customer says "delete the user quota", what exactly does that
mean?
Do we need to delete all the files and directories owned by the user in
the filesystem?  Quota record is something internal to the filesystem
and administrators should not worry about deleting them.  Filesystem may
or may not remove unused quota records (which are not use) at its own
convenience.  I understand that it is annoying to see quota entries
being printed for users no longer exist, while displaying the quota
records in the filesystem.  If that is the only concern, we may decide
not to display such user quotas while listing all the quota records in
the system.  Is this the customer asking for?

Regards,
Jobi

Hi all
UCSF - 6063

Have a customer who asks:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
I'm planning on implementing User Quotas on a virtual server that will
hold=20
user home/personal folders. The default policy would limit users to 4GB,
but=20
individual user quotas will be created for certain users that would
allow=20
them to override that lime (and yes it does work, contrary to what the
help=20
interface). As indicated in your manual, a user quota cannot be deleted.
But=20
if the user account is deleted from Active Directory, that user quota
entry=20
becomes inaccessible and displays as=20
<domain>\S-1-5-21-968431798-671943473-782984527-4684 (which is the SID
of=20
that account).
Are there plans to make it possible to delete the user quota?
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D


Can anyone provide feedback on this?

Thanks!
Michael
