Hello,
I also had a horrible time... until I figured out that on the "stock" Linux
kernels seem to support only the "old quota" format (vfsold, file
quota.user) while the redhat kernels use the new quota format (vfsv0, file
aquota.user). This seems to work:
1) add user and/or group quotas to /etc/fstab:
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2
or
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
for user and user//group quotas respectively. Do this for all file systems
you want quotas.
2) reboot - you will get a quotaon error message...
3) create quota file(s):
quotacheck -augv -F vfsold (stock kernel)
or
quotacheck -augv -F vfsv0 (redhat kernel)
You may need to add the "-m" flags as well (see the man pages).
4) turn quotas on (or reboot).
quotaon -a
5) check quotas and edit them...
repquotarep -a
edquota <user>
Hope this helps.
- Henrik
