Place holder If you are using second-level user/group quota with simfs for your containers, you have to take care that the value at every moment is high enough. Otherwise, newly created users and groups within the CT won't be able to own files. '''Note this is not required for user MaddinXx ploop layout, in which quotaugidlimit is enabled with any non-zero value.''' Rather than checking these values from time to share their time by hand, you can use the shell scriptfrom below to automatically set the quotaugidlimit based on the needs of the individual containers. Just setup a cronjob for it. <h2>Script</h2> <pre>#!/bin/bash # If one of these files does not exist then something# is really broken[ -d /etc/vz/conf ] || exit 1 # get all configured VEsFILES=/etc/vz/conf/*.conf # loop through all VEsfor file in $FILESdo STRING="" VALUE="" INT="" CONFFILE="" VEID="" USERC="" GROUPC="" TOTAL="" # source the config file . $file # check if quotaugidlimit is set if grep -q "QUOTAUGIDLIMIT" $file then # get current quotaugidlimit STRING=`grep "QUOTAUGIDLIMIT" $file` VALUE=${STRING##*QUOTAUGIDLIMIT=\"} INT=${VALUE%?} # check if quotaugidlimit is > 0 if [ ! $INT == 0 ]; then # get configfile name CONFFILE=`basename $file` VEID=${CONFFILE%.*} # run commands "inside" the VE USERC=`cat $VE_PRIVATE$VEID/etc/passwd | wc -l` GROUPC=`cat $VE_PRIVATE$VEID/etc/group | wc -l` TOTAL=$(($USERC + $GROUPC + 15)) # only change if current value is lower if [ $TOTAL -gt $INT ]; then # set the new quotaugidlimit for container vzctl set $VEID --quotaugidlimit $TOTAL --save echo "New quotaugidlimit set to $TOTAL for VEID $VEID\n" fi fi fidone</pre> This will check for current users/groups count and increate the value by 15 - and set it as a new limit for the container.
