Please help me to solve this problem. and i have one more query How we set a user quoata. i used edquota. but i dont know how exactly using edquota.. please explain it thanks in Advance.

Hi, are you sure your graphics card is seated properly? Or do you have some crazy display settings? Depending on which graphics card you have you may want to do a command line login (ie: not in the window system) and use m64config or fbconfig to change your resolution and colour depth. I've seen weird stuff like this when people have tried setting to 16 bit colour depth, or when one application is trying to seize the palette. As for quotas, as root, create a file called quotas on /export/home for example (touch /export/home/quotas). then do edquota [username] you'll get your editor up... just edit this file. If I remember rightly you input the number of 1024 byte (1K) blocks for the limits. The soft amount is the amount before a user gets a warning. the hard amount is the absolute maximum - the user won't be able to store more than this on the UFS filesystem where the quotas file resides. Don't bother changing inodes, if you leave it at zero it will allow as many files as they want. once you have finished with edquota, save and exit, then do the command: quotaon That should do it. Try logging in as the user you set it for and copying some large files in the home directory or something to test it. Hope this helps. Mark

Forgot to say - you must only create the quotas file on the root of the filesystem where you're enforcing disk quotas. So don't try doing it in /export/home/joebloggs and so on... just the mount point for the volume :)
