Disk Quota Again ???? (./fixquota no use)

[mitul]

Hello All,

I am redhat 7.3/WHM 6.4.2/Cpanel 6.4.2.

One of me Re-seller is very frustrated with the quota problem. Max of his accounts are showing Negative Disk Usage.

One of his client i using 6.1 M and Cpanel Shows 30Mb Strange !!

1. I have searched throug the forums
2. Did find -user [username] ==> found some file owned by this user and changed them but now the Disk usage is 21mb which is again wrong.
3. Did FixQuota No use

Next i couldn't remember of some kernel file that gets owned by a particular user some where in /usr or /var thats only remaining.

But how do i get rid of this ???

Please don;t tell me to upgrade to Cpanel7, i cannot still it gets to a Stable one.

ReDisk Quota Again

I am having the same problem with Redhat 7.3 WHM Cpanel 7.1.8 R45.

No luck as of yet, I keep getting different explanations but investigated all avenues so far... I have a ticket open with Cpanel and I pray they can fix this soon!

will tell you how to fix it now.

How to prevent it from happeing again is it do this.
Go to edit set up and enter 2000 here

Minimum Uid:
The lowest UID to use when creating an account (optional). If you set this below 500 just about everything will break.

Cpanel decided to start using 500 as a base instead of 1000 or above for the UID's so Linux ends up with cross UIDs all the time. Especailly if you have a box from a certain noc that gave everyone an automated script to update their kernel but set the UID on it at 574 so it ended up crossing with new accounts.

Awesome. Fixed problem. Somehow system files were getting owned by my users accounts and eating up the space. I changed ownership appropriately. Thanks again!
