Increase the disk space allocated to a user in Samba

Hello,

I have a Linux server running Mandriva. I installed Samba and created accounts.

Then on the user workstations, I shared the network drives so that users can put their documents there...

However, the allocated size for their account is insufficient; their partition is full. My question is: how can we increase the size of their partition?

Thanks for your help

Configuration: Mac OS X / Firefox 3.0.15

    Hello,

    In theory, if there is space left on your hard drive, you can increase the size of the partition with gparted

    however, do you use quotatools or not? (user quotas management)

    Oh yeah, exactly! my partition is already 100% full! but I have other partitions that are empty.
    So I’ll try gparted.

    I don’t know what quotatools is, can you tell me more about it sometime,

    anyway thanks for your help!

    hello,

    quotatools may be of interest to you if you manage multi-user servers like me
    it's software for quota management
    it allows you to set quotas for a regular user regarding disk space.
    You can assign it to users or groups of users

    only the root account can have unlimited space on these disks
    it's not very different from Windows.

    here is a very well-made page that can help you manage quotas

    there you go!
