The problem was in the way I built the amd map for poor Felix's network ;-) The home server has two file systems under /home, u1 & u2. The quota files are in the fs root directories (ie /home/u1, /home/u2). The amd map only told the clients to mount /home. I had a feeling that it might be the source of the problem, and today I changed the map so that the clients would mount /home/u1 & /home/u2 also, and voila'... -- Adriano -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Quotas & AMD
Did you enable quota support in the kernel on both the client *AND* the NFS server? I work with a Debian machine with just such a setup, and there are no real problems there Felix Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Does anybody know how I can configure my network in order to let the > users know their disk quotas?

I do get quota information via rquotad even for an NFS mount administered by AMD. Are we running different versions of the amd and quota packages?

I'm starting rpc.rquotad in my netstd_misc script (on the server), so it is not the problem... When I mount the filesystems on the clients, via NFS too, directly in the fstab (not in AMD) the quotas are shown normaly (if I didn't have started the rpc.rquotad it won't occur). Thank you anyway. :-) Felix Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You need to run the rquotad on the server to be able to query quotas for
NFS-mounted filesystems. I patched /etc/init.d/quota to run rpc.rquotad if you
export filesystems and at the same time some filesystems have quotas. I don't
check, though, that set of exported filesystems and the set of filesystems with
quotas have a non-empty intersection.
