7.7. Setting Grace Times

When a user exceeds his soft blocks or files limit, he will still be able to use up disk space up to the hard limit for a certain period of time—the grace period. There are separate periods for the blocks quota and the files quota on each filesystem. Once the period has expired, it will be as though he had reached the hard limit. No more blocks of disk space can be used if it was the blocks quota that was exceeded, or no more files can be created if it was the files quota. Grace periods can also be set for group quotas, and if a filesystem has both user and group quotas enabled, each has their own separate periods.

To set the grace periods for all users on a particular filesystem, follow these steps:

1.
Click on the mount point from the list of filesystems on the main page of the module. This will take you to the list of all users and their quotas, as shown in Figure 7.2.

2.
Click the Edit Grace Times button, which will bring up a form for editing the periods.

3.
For both the blocks and files quotas, select the period and units. When done, click the Update button to save your settings and put the grace periods into immediate effect.

The process for editing the group grace times on a filesystem is almost exactly the same. If a filesystem has both user and group quotas enable, the main page of the module will have two links for each filesystem—one for users and one for groups.
