Hi,

at the moment i get every week this error
warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open 'sites/default/files/imagecache/Thumb_Quadrat/event/flyer/soundsmetak240401.jpg' for writing: Disk quota exceeded in /var/www/web2/web/modules/imageapi/imageapi_gd.module on line 66.

After flushing the imagecache preset the error went away.

I am using:

Drupal: 6.16
ImageAPI: 6.x-1.x-dev - 2009-11-29
ImageCache 6.x-2.x-dev - 2009-09-22
Imagemagick: 6.3.7 06/04/09 Q16

I am on a root server with ubuntu 8.04. I dont know why, but there is enough disk space at the moment. the project just use 3 % of the maximum available disk space! May it be that Linux has a limit for folder sizes?

Any ideas about this error?

Did you look at the unix filesystem quota troubleshooting tips? Could be something there could help you. I dunno, I just googled.
It's not really a Drupal thing - it's an OS thing.

Hi dman! I think this is it.

This is by design a drupal default setting that can be fixed by understanding the File Uploads function.

5.0: Administer -> Site Configuration -> File Uploads

On the next screen you'll be able to open drop-down boxes for each user role you've defined. The settings you can adjust include:

Permitted file extensions
Maximum file size per upload
Total file size per user

The last one, "Total file size per user," is the one you'll need to increase to avoid this error. Enter any number you wish, keeping in mind your server, or hosting plan limits. You can also increase the size limit of individual uploads from 5MB here

So I have an issue of my site won't let me up load a banner. I get the error message that It can't upload the image because it exceeds the disk space. 2MB is the limit on the banner and its only 765kb. So that s not it. I have PLENTY of space as well on the site as well. No where near getting close to filling it up. But the unusual thing is that a buddy that I gave access to could up load the banner and approve it and publish it from a different location on his home computer. Whats up with that? Is it my ISP?

Thanks for any help on this.
