| lunatiq | is there anyway to limit a folder size? | 03:15 |
|---|---|---|
| lunatiq | I'm sorry | 03:15 |
| lunatiq | Directory | 03:15 |
| lunatiq | Like if I want to limit a site added in apache2 | 03:16 |
| arrayboltXE | lunatiq: This is somewhat of a hack, but you might be able to make an image file, format it with a filesystem, make a loop device with it, and then mount that device into the desired directory. | 03:16 |
| arrayboltXE | That would effictively limit the size of the directory's contents to the size of the image file. | 03:16 |
| lunatiq | That doesn't sound easy | 03:17 |
| arrayboltXE | Something like "dd if=/dev/zero of=./mysite.img bs=1G count=4 && mkfs.ext4 ./mysite.img" to make the image. | 03:17 |
| arrayboltXE | Then I *think* "sudo mount ./mysite.img /path/to/size_limited_directory" will mount it. | 03:18 |
| arrayboltXE | You might need to use some losetup command first though. | 03:18 |
| arrayboltXE | Lemme test it real quick (it sounds complicated but this should be easy enough) | 03:19 |
| sdeziel | lunatiq: I /think/ you can achieve that with ext4 quotas, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Disk_quota | 03:19 |
| arrayboltXE | On Ubuntu 22.10, just making the file, formatting it, and then mounting it directly works for me. | 03:20 |
| arrayboltXE | Might impact performance though. sdeziel's disk quota stuff might be better. | 03:20 |
| sdeziel | lunatiq: if the directory in question is on btrfs or zfs, there are better ways to restrict space usage | 03:21 |
| sdeziel | arrayboltXE: I don't know, I quite like your loop dev idea to be honest :) | 03:21 |
| arrayboltXE | lol that was just the first thing that came to mind :P It *will* have some overhead, since it will make an ext4 filesystem on top of whatever other FS is already in use, which comes with a (hopefully slight) storage cost and likely a (hopefully slight) performance hit. I would imagine disk quotas would be faster since they only have to deal with one filesystem. | 03:22 |
| lunatiq | I'm trying to take note from what I learned yesterday about netplan and adding additional IP. I had to add the IP to the YAML and then a label. I made my nic:0 so could I essentially go from nic:0-999 ? | 03:46 |
| lunatiq | such as | 03:46 |
| lunatiq | - 123.1.1.1/32 | 03:46 |
| lunatiq | label: nic:0 | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | - 123.1.1.2/32 | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | label: nic:1 | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | etc | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | to | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | label: nic:999 | 03:47 |
| lunatiq | or 256 I mean | 03:48 |
| lunatiq | 1-256 | 03:48 |
| sdeziel | lunatiq: what do you use the label for? | 03:53 |
| lunatiq | virtual nic | 03:53 |
| lunatiq | virtualization | 03:53 |
| lunatiq | It's what I was told had to bbe done annd it worked | 03:54 |
| sdeziel | OK, I thought it was just a label tied to an IP address | 03:54 |
| sdeziel | lunatiq: the man page says you can go up to 15 chars long for the label so that should be enough for your numbering scheme | 03:55 |
