Exclude folders from quota?

[elbarto]

Hi guys,

I have the following problem which I guess some of you might have had and you can probably help me to solve it.

I'm using PHP with eAccelerator. The cache files of eAccelerator are created in /tmp/eaccelerator. Since PHP is running with suPHP, the cache files are owned by the user who created it. The problem is that when the quota check runs, those cache files are counted and sometimes my clients see a big difference between the disk space their are using and what DA shows them. That leads to complaints and I need to delete the cache and recalculate the quota.

Is it possible to avoid the quota check from checking /tmp? Has this happened to you? How did you solve it?

Thanks!

I highly doubt anything in /tmp is counted

You should use /tmp as a separate mount point with disabled quotas.

Thanks zEitEr. Now I have one question, can I separate /tmp without re-partitioning my disc? I've found this, but I'm not sure if this is a safe/useful procedure for me. Is that the right way to go?

Thanks!

i have same problem like this and not found a solution
so my final solution is i disabled eAcellerator.

And i'm not sure link have you given will work for this case because i have tried it before.

I haven't thoroughly checked each step in the link, but in general these are the steps I take to retroactively add a /tmp partition for a client.

I'd rather use tmpfs, if I had enough RAM. It's more quicker.

@zEitEr:

Do you manage to run DirectAdmin on a gentoo install? Or are you just pointing to that page for documentation?

Jeff, for documentation only. It's one of the pages I've found in Google.
