Hi,

in my Linux Fedora Enterprise, the df shows

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
190361300 5441648 175249816 4% /
/dev/sda1 101086 10049 85818 11% /boot
none 448464 0 448464 0% /dev/shm

##no info about /home; /tmp; /var; /usr,etc

and

cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults

/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_ubject_r:removable_t ,exec,noauto,managed
0 0


I'm wondering,

1. how to know which disk the home, usr reside in?
2. how to set/enable disk quotas for /home, /usr
3. if user me has quota limiation, but me mv files into disk which not
quota enabled, did that mean me still have un-limit quota usage

This has nothing to do with the shell. This is an admin question,
crossposting to comp.unix.admin and setting followups there.

1. You have a unitary file system, which is both a common and
reasonable setup for a home system. You don't have a separate
filesystem for /home, /tmp, /var, /usr or just about anything
else. It's all in /, except for a small auxiliary partition
/boot which holds your kernel and a few files associated with
your bootloader.

2. You can't set separate quotas for /home and /usr because
they aren't separate filesystems on your system. You can
only set a quota for /, which will be a quota for your
whole system.

3. If you move files from a filesystem with quotas to one
without, the file will not count against the quota on the
old filesystem (as it no longer on the old filesystem) nor
will it count against a quota on the new filesystem (as
the new filesystem has no quota for it to count against).
Quotas are simply applied to your usage on your filesystems;
they don't follow files around. This, of course, is not much
of a concern on your system, since you only have one filesystem,
so the user is not going to moving files from one filesystem
to another.

BTW, I notice your filesystem is only 4% full. With 190
gigs of disk, you probably won't be running out anytime soon...

df with no arguments shows the free space for each mounted filesystem.
Free space in a filesystem does not belong to a particular directory.

df /home
df /usr

Don't kid yourself. Little is relevant, and nothing lasts forever.
