[gentoo-user] Disk quota and LDAP

[gentoo-user] Disk quota and LDAP

[Leandro Melo de Sales]

Hi all,

  I have nsswitch + ldap enabled on my linux system. I'd like to know
if it is possible to make the system get the user quota from a LDAP
attribute for a respective user.

Thank you,

Leandro.

AFAIK, user quota is a per fs setting. So having it in LDAP is useless.

You can get the information with the quota tools anytime, for any given 
filesystem. This is the only place where the correct quota value is stored, 
in the filesystems. Putting it into another database of any kind would mean 
to make sure it's up to date every time quota changes for any user on any 
filesystem on any machine you have. What for???

What's the difference in querying one db or the other?

You can't manage quota with LDAP.
