Linux Server Disk Quotas for Shared Hosting
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the practical world of Linux server disk quotas, focusing on how to manage storage on shared hosting environments. They walk through the difference between user and group quotas, the XFS and ext4 filesystem support, and the exact commands to set and enforce limits using quota and setquota. They discuss real-world scenarios like runaway logs, user temp directories, and backup storage, and explain how to avoid common pitfalls like inode exhaustion. The episode also covers how to monitor usage with repquota and how to handle grace periods for soft limits. By the end, listeners will have a clear, actionable playbook for implementing disk quotas on their own servers, whether for a small team or a growing hosting business.
