7.14 How can I turn off quota checking?
Suggestions:
1] rmfn quota fileset. This will still allow you to keep using quotas,
as long as the nfs-server still has quota enabled, and is exporting it
with all the quota stuff turned on, even though the HP itself might not
have it. Watch out tho, since this deletes /usr/bin/quota :) So make
a copy, if you still want to have the ability to do "quota -v" and
stuff around.
2] mv /usr/bin/quota /usr/bin/quota_check. cp /bin/true /usr/bin/quota.
This will still make the login program do the quota-check, but at least
it goes by very very quickly now (as opposed to actualy checking every
single nfs-mount with quota, and so on.) Then, just run quota_check
whenever you want.
3] Remove execute permissions for /usr/bin/quota as in:
$ chmod -x /usr/bin/quota
This prevents quota from running. It's also a self documenting flag
in that a future system manager who tries to run /etc/quota will get
the "can not execute" error message.
4] chmod -x /usr/bin/quote /etc/edquota
This appears to turn quota's completely off (which is what I
suspect the vast majority of people want) and not only speeds
up the login process, but you don't get any annoying messages.
