Disk quota exceeded......
I keep on getting an error on my site saying
Quote:
[function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Disk quota exceeded
I've got a 250GB dedicated server, and have used less than 200mb of that.

The site has only been on the server for just over a month.

What does this mean and how can I sort it?

Someone (an admin only...) has set quota on, type quota -v to see...

I typed quota -v and this is what I got:
Quote:
Disk quotas for user root (uid 0):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/sda2 184296 0 0 22 0 0
[root@localhost ~]#

ant:/home/vbe $ quota -v
no disk quota for uid 0

Okay, I get that. But how do I change it so that there's no quota set then?

Im no linux specialist... on my platform (HP) I know there are a few options...e.g. as root, using commands like quotaon/quotaoff, look if you can find equivalent on your system, I will look for a box that has quotas to see what I did...

in /etc/fstab:
#look for the tag quota
/dev/vg00/lvol8 /home hfs rw, suid, quota 0 2
# umount the affected filesystem if you can
# edit with vi, and remove the quota tag then remount the filesystem

Look at:
Linux File System Quotas

All the best
