Gesamtspeicherplatz or Webspace

Bug report

Summary

First of call I'm using Froxlor with german language. So not sure if this applies to all languages.

I'm a bit confused by the storage consumption setup and I think there is at least a naming issue somewhere. I have set for a customer/user: Webspace (MiB): 10000 E-Mail-Kontingent (MiB) *: 25000

The customer dashboard now looks like this:

The dashboard looks ok because it says "Gesamtspeicherplatz" vs "Webspace" but in the admin settings for that user it's called Webspace. So I see two possibilities:

1. "Gesamtspeicherplatz" is set nowhere and should be calculated by Webspace+Mailquota
2. Webspace actually means "Gesamtspeicherplatz" and there is no dedicated setting for Webspace. Then the configuration should be renamed to Gesamtspeicherplatz instead of Webspace.

Could have been introduced by Issue #733 ?

Aah, the neverending story about webspace,mailspace,total space etc :)

Total = Web + Mail + MySQL

Mail-quota is not part of that. This only restricts the usage to a certain amount of diskspace. Relevant is what's used. So in your case, webspace 112,613 MiB + email accounts 10132,098 MiB equals the 10244,711 of total disk usage (you don't seem to use mysql databases here, the would also be added to the total usage). Hence >100% usage.

I see what might cause the confusing is that you can assign more mail-quota disk-space that you acutally have in webspace. That's due to the quota being "virtual". Like, you have 25000 MiB available to assign to accounts in total, the actually used diskspace is in "email accounts"

The "naming" originated from earlier days. Customers mostly want to know: what diskspace can I use for my websites/applications/etc.; on the admins side, of course the customer also uses diskspace for his email-accounts and mysql-databases, that's why this is added to the usage of the customer. Maybe we can find a good explanation to add to the corresponding settings to avoid such confusion

I extended the circle graphs with a graph for email accounts in MiB. So it's more visible for the customer. For the database I didn't add a graph because the databases from our customers are small (max 2% of the total space) in most cases.
