Hi,

I have a CentOS Linux 5.3 server.
In the root folder, I found files aquota.group and aquota.user which are link to /proc/vz/vzaquota/xxxx/aquota.group and /proc/vz/vzaquota/xxxx/aquota.user.

Each file has a size of 128.51 MB.

What are they? Can I delete them?

You can if you do not need to use user or group quotas.

You can turn quotas off using
Depending on your setup you may need to remove a quotacheck cron job also.

Hi fpmurphy,

Thank you for your reply.
But, when I run quotaoff -a, it says "quotaoff: command not found"...

try /sbin/quotaoff -a

Hi jim mcnamara,

It says 'no such file or directory'...

@mark54g: Yes, I'm root

Finally, I think it's better to ignore it I dont wanna get trouble with my system

Dear All:
Maybe you need login su first then give the command path compeled.

or you can change path to /sbin/ ,look for "quotaoff" command.

Someday you will need it,

my experience that some file in the /var derictory or Log message of system will be full,

clean up , or turn off the fuction is good idea.

thanks

Are you using openvz or virtuozzo? A quick search turned that up and it would make sense as to why you have a quota if you are using a virtualized environment like that.

OpenVZ uses jails and a modified kernel to provide you with multiple instances of an operating environment and my guess is, to make sure that they do not clobber each other, they are set with limits or at least allow for their creation more easily.
