7.2. The Disk Quotas Module

Webmin's Disk Quotas module is found under the System category. When you enter the module, a list of all filesystems on which quotas could be or are active is displayed, along with their current active status and whether quotas are configured for users, groups, or both. See Figure 7.1 for an example.

On most systems that have never used quotas before, none of your filesystems will be listed. This is because quotas must first be enabled in the Disk and Network Filesystems module, as explained in Chapter 5.

If your system does not have the quota manipulation commands installed, Webmin will display an error message on the main page of the module and you will not be able to activate or edit any quotas. All Linux distributions should have a package on their CD or website containing the quota commands.
