*SOLVED* Disk quota exceeded [message #14624]

Setting OpenVZ and I'm migrating from my old development server to the new box which is the first VE we've set up.

copying over home directories: by doing scp -r * user@ip:/home/user

on the last few files I'm getting: Disk quota exceeded

I searched around and found a --diskspace switch and tried:

vzctl set --diskspace 10000000000:15000000000 --save

VE filesystem set to 15G

I don't want quotas. can I make this go away? The only quota I should have to worry about is the space I allocated for the VE.

which brings me to my second question:

I can cat /proc/user_beancounters to see what's failing and what various settings are set to. I don't see diskspace in that list. Is there a place where I can look to see what it's set to and what other random settings there are that I don't know about?

.

the VE quota is the metric set with --diskspace x:y

ie, the quotas you are referring to are what you want to worry about.

'man vzctl' has all of the info you need, including the disk space metric. further, the openvz pdf manual is an excellent place to start reading.

I did not setup file system quotas. so how can there be a quota issue unless openvz is enforcing a quota?

Thank you for pointing me to the man pages and documentation. I was looking for a command/file so I can see what settings are set to that are not listed in /proc/user_beancoutners

is there a file I can look at or command that will tell me that diskspace is set to: X:Y?

per VE quotas differ from the conventional per user quotas we are used to on a linux server. you do not need per group or per user quotas enabled on your fs to allow per ve quotas.

grep DISK /etc/sysconfig/vz-scripts/VEID.conf

thanks for the pointer to the conf file I can look at!

my point is that I do not want quotas of any kind. I'm trying to figure out why when I scp from my old server to the VE on this new box am I get an error of: Disk quota exceeded

when I never configured traditional quotas. I didn't configure per ve quotas either.

how do I confirm the what the ve quota is set to? and as a follow up either disable it or really increase it.

/proc/vz/vzquota is what you want for the live status of the quota.

I have never tried to disable per ve quotas but it is likely possible. Rather then disabling it, I would set it very high or at the HN's capability, these seems more sane to me.

For your error, likely you are at the max blocks or max inodes- vzquota proc file above can verify this.

yea that appears to be the problem:

 cat /proc/vz/vzquota 
qid: path            usage      softlimit      hardlimit       time     expire
1000: /vz/private/1000
  1k-blocks        7851856    10000000000    15000000000          0          0
     inodes         200000         200000         220000 1183470760          0

I'm making preparations for the 4th of July =) so I'll try it later

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for all of your help.

I wrote a script to help me deal with this and I would appreciate some feedback and your thoughts...it seems like you have a good handle on what's going on:
