Overview<\/h2>\n

This interface allows you to change an account\u2019s disk space quota. This quota specifies the maximum amount of disk space that an account can use on your server.<\/p>\n

\n
Warning:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • We enable quotas by default on new installations.<\/li>\n
  • If you disable and then reenable quotas, servers that use the XFS\u00ae filesystem and run AlmaLinux 8, CentOS 7 and 8, CloudLinux\u2122 7 and 8, or Red Hat\u00ae Enterprise Linux\u00ae (RHEL) 7 require additional actions for quotas to function properly:\n
      \n
    • WHM Interface<\/strong> \u2014 Use WHM\u2019s Initial Quota Setup<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Initial Quota Setup<\/em>) to configure quotas.<\/li>\n
    • Command Line<\/strong> \u2014 Run the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/fixquotas<\/code> script and then remount the file system.<\/li>\n
    • Manually via the Command Line<\/strong> \u2014 For instructions on how to perform the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/fixquotas<\/code> script\u2019s actions manually, read the Red Hat XFS and XFS Quota Management documentation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • If you have enabled Quota System Administration<\/em> notifications, the system sends notifications when it is ready to reboot and<\/strong> when the quota scan finishes and quotas are functional.<\/li>\n
    • CloudLinux 7 and 8 updates may break quotas. For this reason, after each CloudLinux 7 and 8 update, you must<\/strong> run the \/usr\/local\/cpanel\/scripts\/fixquotas<\/code> script and then remount the file system.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Set appropriate quotas for each account on your server. For example, users who wish to host video content need more disk space than a user who only hosts a blog.<\/p>\n

      \n
      Important:<\/div>\n
      \n
        \n
      • \n

        Quotas do not<\/strong> limit changes to MySQL\u00ae or PostgreSQL\u00ae databases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Quotas that include database space only affect cPanel-related functions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Processes that the system runs, such as PHP scripts that create files, can create user-owned files until the number of files reaches the quota. This situation occurs because the kernel-enforced quota does not access cPanel settings.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        The backup process for an account near or over its quota may fail because the system cannot write necessary files, such as a database lock file.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        If a discrepancy exists between quotas and the results of the du -sh \/home\/username<\/code> command, the user\u2019s UID may own other files on the system. To find the locations of the user\u2019s files, run the find \/ -user username -ls<\/code> command, where username<\/code> is the username.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        Change quotas<\/h2>\n

        To assign a new quota, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          Choose one of the following options. The bandwidth information for the selected account or accounts will display.<\/p>\n

            \n
          • To change a single quota, select the desired account and click Modify<\/em>.<\/li>\n
          • To view all of your users\u2019 quotas, click Show all Accounts<\/em> at the bottom of the interface.<\/li>\n
          • To view only a specific reseller\u2019s accounts, click Show Only this Reseller\u2019s Accounts<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n

            Enter the new quota for each account in the appropriate text box, in megabytes (MB), or select Unlimited<\/em> to grant the user unlimited disk space.<\/p>\n

              \n
            • If you chose to view all of your accounts, click Show Only this Reseller\u2019s Accounts<\/em> under a reseller\u2019s username to view only that reseller\u2019s accounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
            • \n

              Click Save<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n
              Note:<\/div>\n
              \n

              If all of your accounts\u2019 quotas incorrectly display as 0<\/code>, rebuild your system\u2019s quota files. Click the click here<\/em> link, or, if the interface does not display a link, use WHM\u2019s Initial Quota Setup<\/em> interface (WHM >> Home >> Server Configuration >> Initial Quota Setup<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
