Quotas: Enable Filesystem Quotas in fstab

MediumStorage & LVM10-20 min
The brief

Enable filesystem quotas by editing /etc/fstab. Two mounts currently use only defaults and need the right quota options added to their mount-option field:

  • /data — enable BOTH user and group quotas
  • /srv — enable USER quotas only

Leave the root (/) line unchanged. Assignment vars are in /root/case/assignment.env.

Device UUIDs vary per session; grading keys off the mount point. See /root/case/brief.txt.

What you'll do
  • Add quota mount options to the correct fstab entries
  • Enable both user and group quotas on one mount
  • Enable user quotas on another
  • Leave unrelated mounts untouched

Hands-on lab: you work on a real Linux box in your browser, graded on the machine's actual state.
