Hello,
the following procedure to set up quotas worked for me. Maybe it will help
you.
Sincerely,
- Henrik
# 0) kernel must be compiled with quota support... the standard redhat
kernels have quota support turned on by default.
stock kernel seems to support old kernels (vfsold), (at least up to
2.4.17)
redhat kernels seem to support new quotas (vfsv0)
# 1) add user and/or group quotas to /etc/fstab:
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
# 2) reboot... you will get a quotaon error message.
# 3) create quotafile (make sure the format is correct):
quotacheck -Maugv -F vfsold (stock)
quotacheck -Maugv -F vfsv0 (redhat)
You may not need or want the -M flag, see the man pages.
# 4) enable quotas (or reboot)
quotaon -a
# 5) commands:
repquota -a
edquota <user>
