users in dir other than /home

Yeah, /scripts/initquotas messes up my fstab changes.

root@bigjohn [~]# /scripts/initquotas
Quotas are now on
/dev/hdc1 (remove)

Here is fstab after running the script.

My new drive with the users in it is /dev/hdc1.

Help me, you're my only hope.

That's because you've called your second disk /backup and init scripts is removing the quotas which it does automatically I believe.

[jdibben]

So am I SOL?

Can't we fix the script?

[jdibben]

I think I'm gonna rename that drive to something more appropriate.

One thing I have noticed is that in WHM some of my accounts show the wrong partition. They show the old partition.

Does that need to be updated to show the correct drive?

[jdibben]

I had my Linux guru re-mount this second drive as /home and all is well now.

I am curious where WHM gets its 'partition' information from. I would like for it to reflect the real partition everything is on.

How would I go about updating WHM to show the correct partition? (from list accounts)

[chirpy]

It's likely getting the information from /etc/passwd or perhaps /var/cpanel/users/*, though I think the former is the most likely.

[jdibben]

You are correct. I found it and all is well.


Thank you so much for all your help. I have learned a lot over the last two days.
