[solved] Client's quota

Hello.

 

I have some questions about client's quota.

Setup system: Froxlor 0.9.14 / Apache2 / FCGID / Postfix-Dovecot / ProFTPD, running on Debian 5.0 Lenny.

 

1. I have a client with a quota of let's say 200 MB. What is included in current version of Froxlor for client's quota calculation ?

The desired quota should be calculated including:

- Used quota from vhosts (/var/www/vhosts/customer01)
- Used space from MySQL databases
- Used space from Emails (/var/mail/*_customer's_domains)
- Used space from logs (/var/www/logs/*_customer's_domains)
- Temporary files for vhosts (/var/www/tmp/*_customer's_domains)

2. How is the client limited to his quota ? (FTP quota limit, general mailboxes limit, etc.)

 

3. I have enabled Mail Quota in: Server -> Mailserver settings -> Use mailbox-quota for customers.

- 3a: This setting has an info test: "Activate to use quotas on mailboxes. Default is No since this requires a special setup." What is the special setup required ?

 

- 3b: When adding a mail account, the client is able to modify the quota to a value out of his quota range (eg, he can set quota for a mailbox to any value: 1024, 100000 MB). Is not supposed to obey quota rules for the entire account ?

- Used space from logs (/var/www/logs/*_customer's_domains)
- Temporary files for vhosts (/var/www/tmp/*_customer's_domains)

 

logs are not being calculated since the admin decides how long they are kept etc.

 

2. How is the client limited to his quota ? (FTP quota limit, general mailboxes limit, etc.)

 

Customer will receive an e-mail at 90% of usage. FTP and Mail require special settings.

 

3. I have enabled Mail Quota in: Server -> Mailserver settings -> Use mailbox-quota for customers.

You need to edit the configuration of the mail-server, by default, Quota is not enabled.

 

- 3b: When adding a mail account, the client is able to modify the quota to a value out of his quota range (eg, he can set quota for a mailbox to any value: 1024, 100000 MB). Is not supposed to obey quota rules for the entire account ?

 

Hm - that might be a bug, please report to our bugtracker including all available information (steps to reproduce!)

If at least files, MySQL databases and Emails are include in quota, that's ok.

I can live with Logs and TMP files out of quota :)

 

Customer will receive an e-mail at 90% of usage.

In E-mail & file templates there is a "Notification mail for customers when ninety percent of traffic is exhausted", but there is no notification for disk space/quota used. Should I report a bug ?

 

FTP and Mail require special settings.

You need to edit the configuration of the mail-server, by default, Quota is not enabled.

 

In my tests, FTP quota and Mail quota seems to work properly, I didn't have to make any additional configurations beside what Froxlor recommended in Server -> Configuration :)

The sum of all mailboxes quota should not be higher than "Webspace (MB)" value.

In addition to that, quota for a new account should consider the webspace already used.

Example:

Customer "Webspace (MB)": 200 MB

Space already used by files and MySQL databases: 30 MB

Add first email with 100 MB quota: OK

If I add an additional email address, the customer should no be able to enter more than 70 MB as quota.

 

I'll report a bug in the bugtracker.

Hello.

 

I have reported the bugs (#466 and #467).

 

I do have one more question: a client has used resources in Froxlor: 

Webspace (MB): 105.33/110 (MB)

Using du, I'm trying to see disk usage.

FTP/VHosts:
# du -sh /var/www/vhosts/customer01/
92M     /var/www/vhosts/customer01/


Email:
du -sh /var/mail/customer01/
552K    /var/mail/customer01/


Databases:
# du -sh /var/lib/mysql/customer01*
444K    /var/lib/mysql/customer01sql1
620K    /var/lib/mysql/customer01sql2
564K    /var/lib/mysql/customer01sql3
992K    /var/lib/mysql/customer01sql4
3.2M    /var/lib/mysql/customer01sql5


Total: ~ 98.03 MB

 

Why Froxlor displays a bigger amount ?

 

Also, I have tried to use "Recalculate resource usage", but the amount it's the same.

I have sent a bigger email message to the client, and still is the same amount. Mails are not counted in customer's used resources ?

Thanks for quick answers.

 

This could generate a small difference from databases, I can live with that also :)

 

There is still one "unsolved" issue about quota.

The present statistics shows me:

Webspace (MB) 105.33/110 (MB)

.

 

I have sent some emails with attachments. Now du shows:

du -sh /var/mail/customer01/
9.5M    /var/mail/customer01/

.

 

After Server -> Recalculate resource usage, the client's resources remains exactly the same in Froxlor:

Webspace (MB) 105.33/110 (MB)

.

 

Shouldn't raise with the new emails size ?
