quota.user in /usr is 1 gb!

[beley]

I have a problem with my /usr directory (it's 94% full) and was looking around to see what I could possibly delete to free up some space. Well, I noticed that the /usr/quota.user file is 1 GB!

There is also a /quota.user file that is even larger. What is this file and is it needed in several directories? Thanks!

some people like to use quota software on their server..
quota keeps users under their disk usage limit
if you don't need it, or use it

look at /etc/fstab

the filesystems mounted with quota will read
defaults,usrqouta
or
defaults,grpquota,usrquota

take away the qouta part
then
turn quota off with /usr/sbin/qoutaoff -avug
then uninstall qouta
or turn it off in your boot script
the lines to comment out will be
/usr/sbin/qoutacheck -avug
/usr/sbin/qoutaon -avug

or i guess since the boot script checks for the program before it runs you could just rename /usr/sbinqoutaon and /usr/sbin/qoutacheck

then just delete those huge files
