Wrong quota messages

Hi!

I created an user with an emailaddress. This emailadress "example@bla.com" is used as a mailing list, using many mailadresses to forward messages, that are send to the mailadress (example@bla.com).
Now, I get wrong quota messages:
Some Users/Groups Are Near Or Already Over Their Quota Limit On Server server.bla.com

Code:

The following users are near or already over their quota limit on server server.bla.com:

===================================================



Username:                           web2_forward

(Links and Addresses are changed by me)

A "du -s" to the users directory shows:

Code:

du  -h web2_oop/

8,0K    web2_oop/web

4,0K    web2_oop/Maildir/tmp

4,0K    web2_oop/Maildir/new

4,0K    web2_oop/Maildir/cur

16K     web2_oop/Maildir

140K    web2_oop/

Any idea, why? I get these wrong messages for some web-accounts und for some user-accounts.

Best regards,
Sebastian

Run

Code:

repquota -avug

to have a look at the correct quota values.

Code:

Block grace time: 7days; Inode grace time: 7days

                        Block limits                File limits

User            used    soft    hard  grace    used  soft  hard  grace

----------------------------------------------------------------------

...

web2_oop  +-   96488    1024    1024  6days    6723     0     0

...

but why? how could that be possible? the web2_oop - folder has only some kb ?!

All files/directories that belong to web2_oop go into that quota value, no matter if they are in the web2_oop folder or somewhere else.

is there a possibility to find out, what files belong to web2_oop?

There might be an option for the find command, butI'am not shure. I recommend to first have a look at the /temp folder and then at /var/spool/mail/ if there are any files owned by web2_oop.

Yes,

Code:

find / -user <username>

finds all files of a user,

Code:

find / -group <groupname>

all files of a group.

Hello,

I have the same problem.

The following groups are near or already over their quota limit on server xxxxx:
================================================== =

Group: web7
Used Storage Space: 771.03 MB
Allocated Storage Space: 300.00 MB
Web Site: www.xxxxxxxxxx.edu

Customer's Company: XXXXXXXXX
Customer's Name: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Customer's Address:
City:
Country:
Telephone:
Telefax:
Customer's Email Address:
Customer's Web Site: http://
================================================== ==

The output of #du -h /var/www/web7 is:
171M total

Ispconfig shows the same through the web-panel.

The output of #find / -group web7 shows only files that are in the /var/www/web7 folder.

I checked the /tmp or /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tmp but there are no files owned by that user.

The output of #repquota -avug for this group is:
web7 +- 778744 286720 287744 6days 3840 0 0

Another thing is that there is no db for this client.

What is causing this over-quota.
Any help will be appreciated.

Please check the /var/www/web7/log directory if there are any large log files. If you don't need them, you can delete the logs.

Hello,

I checked that folder many times but there is only the last month logfile an it is only 8.2 Mb
