If you're on an OpenVZ VPS, your provider can configure second level (user and group) quotas using "--quotaugidlimit" but this requires access to the node. If you're running a dedicated server or a KVM you can use good old fashioned quotas (http://www.firewall.cx/linux-knowled...em-quotas.html or https://access.redhat.com/documentat...sk-quotas.html)

we have VPS with CENTOS 6.6 x86_64 virtuozzo – host WHM 11.48.4 (build 4)

| Posted by Johnny Cache, 06-11-2015, 02:00 AM | | If your provider has correctly set the second level quotas you should see the symbolic link to the quota files on the Virtuozzo node:
If you don't see this, talk to your provider about enabling second level quotas on your VPS. Most times you won't even need to reboot.
If you do see a similar output to the above, you can try these:

This should at least enforce your cPanel user accounts a little better when it comes to managing their disk usage. Otherwise if too much disk space is being consumed you may need to rethink the whole "unlimited" thing or rework your TOS a little better.

Try the following and see if it helps: However, this may be applied to the main cPanel user though, but not applied to the virtual FTP accounts created by pure-ftpd:
Below is the example to limit filr size that is uploaded by a user to 1 GB:
vi /etc/security/limits.conf
------ Add the below entry ------
username hard fsize 1024000

| Posted by JustinAY, 06-17-2015, 10:22 AM | | You could switch to proftpd and use MaxStoreFileSize. You can do this via your WHM panel.
Please note that you should be setting quotas for your cPanel accounts as well. Loading .iso's, etc should not really be an issue that would affect the server itself immediately.
|
| Posted by Bbnuse, 06-18-2015, 01:49 AM | | If you're running Proftpd, then try directives like MaxRetrieveFileSize and MaxStoreFileSize (they must be added to /etc/proftpd.conf).
If your server runs Pure-ftpd, then use the suggested limits.conf file.

| Posted by kandyjet, 06-18-2015, 06:13 AM | | Thanks guy for your suggestions. il talk to my provider by showing these options.

| Posted by kandyjet, 06-18-2015, 06:26 AM | | Hi justingAY
You mean,
we have cpanel clients using 3 packages and they have quota limits. so is this you mean ?
|
| Posted by kandyjet, 06-18-2015, 06:30 AM | | can i set a large number of files like 10000000000 ? coz currently file count is not really considered as a problem.
|
| Posted by techs4gnu, 06-18-2015, 06:44 AM | | Hi
Yes as per those posts. it should be fine. Let us know if it is working or not
|
| Posted by kandyjet, 06-20-2015, 08:40 AM | | Hi techs4gnu,
i tried several patterns and tested with a cpanel account and found to be having very strange sideeffects. so i completly commented out again that line for now.
tried :
Quota 1000000:10
cant upload a 6 MB file
tried :
Quota 1000000:20
cant upload a 6 MB file
tried :
Quota 1000000:80
able to upload a 6 mb file
So i cant undestand how this pure-ftpd derective is behaving.

| Posted by techs4gnu, 06-21-2015, 07:50 PM | | Hmm.. Not sure why it is not working, May be your host can help you. try setting the same again and then after restart check the process and see if you are able to see the limit in the ftp process running
As per the pureftp doc and cpanel forums, the second section is in MB, so settings should be fine.
Another option is to change the FTP from pure ftp - proftp and then things will be much easier.
http://download.pureftpd.org/pure-ftpd/doc/README
====
Quotas can be enabled for all users for the -n (--quotas) option. This
option is followed by the max number of files and the max size (in Megabytes)
. Every user will have the same quota. Exception: members of the trusted
group, if -a is enabled.
You can also have different quotas for every user if you use PureDB or SQL
databases. See the "README.Virtual-Users" file for more info about PureDB
databases.
So, if you want 1000 files max and 10 Mb max for all your customers, run
the server like this:
/usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd -n 1000:10
