Disk quota management fixed

Posted on Wednesday 14 June 2006, at 20:27 UTC

You probably noticed that disk quota was not working very well, err... in fact did not working at all. Here we are, disk quota is now working correctly. A little outage yesterday was due to a reboot of the biggest file server in order to handle quota correctly.

Please note that disk quota for home directory is now fixed to 1 MB, which is sufficient for your ssh key and some files you want to keep in a rather safe place. Initially there were no quota on home directory and we considered that no user will abuse of disk space, we were wrong...

As usual, feel free to contact us if anything goes wrong !, don't hesitate, really !

Some changes has been made in the php configuration files, mainly on the security side.
