Limiting of disk space and bandwidth
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2003 8:18 pm
I am running a system where users can upload their files to the server via PHP/MySQL and would like to limit disk space and bandwidth for each user. I have several ideas on ways that I could accomplish this, but they are just theories and I'd like to hear some input on this subject. We were grepping the logs for bandwidth through the AWK command, but this was causing the server to overprocess so I would like to accomplish this another way. Now, I could change the cron to 3, instead of 1 and that would have stopped the load, but there either has to be another way or another solution, databased disk space and transfer etc.
