Independent Quotas
One big request that has been made time and time again is by users who are running either bare metal and/or VM installs in solo mode, i.e; no additional users on the system. When such an environment is being ran, there is no need for quotas as the user will carry the entirety of the disk space.
How do you actually do this? I did make some changes to my setup to get quotas working in 2.3 (editing fstab to add in usrquota, then restarting it all.
So far, I only uninstalled the “quotas” package via the webgui, and now my display is showing me just the quota for /(root), not for /home.
