[cobalt-users] disk quota errors

["Jason M. Weber" <IT@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I too have recently run into this problem on my RaQ4r. I know that much of
this has already been thrown out there but I thought I just do a quick recap
and explain what could be done to fix the problem.

Essentially what happens is that when you set up a user as the site admin
with x amount of disk space, all files that get placed on the Cobalt count
against their personal quota because the files are still technically owned
by said user. My quick fix was to change the ownership of all files in the
site web directory to nobody or admin. The files are still associated with
the site and so the site's usage and quota still report correctly. And now
the user's personal usage and quota stats are still intact. Here's a fix
that I think could be considered. Once a site admin uploads to the site web
directory have the Cobalt automatically change the ownership. It'd be
simple, clean, and reasonably easy. Short of that have a cron go through and
do it hourly or so. Just my two cents.
