quota

[Master of Reality]

say i wanted to give  user a certain amount of space in my web directory. Would the best way to do that be with user quotas??

I set fstab to have usrquotas on the partition but do i really need to restart linux do enable it?

No, just remount the partition you turned on quotas for.

If it's your root file system you'll need to bring it down to single user mode:

# telinit 1
# mount / -o remount
# telinit 5 (or 3 whatever you use)
