root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/quotatab # add device and description which quota is set
/dev/sdb1: Your Home Director
root@dlp:~#
vi /etc/warnquota.conf # change mail sender or others if you need MAIL_CMD = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" FROM = "root@localhost" # but they don't have to be: SUBJECT = Over quota CC_TO = "root@localhost" SUPPORT = "root@localhost" PHONE = "<enter your phone number here>" # CHARSET = UTF-8 # run warnquota root@dlp:~# warnquota -s
# if a user is over the limit when warnquota runs, following warning is sent
