Re: Quotas not working on FreeBSD 5.4 for amd64

Make sure your kernel supports quota, the GENERIC kernel does not. You need to add this line to your kernel config and then compile and install a new kernel: options QUOTA #enable disk quotas Then reboot 2. In fstab as you know, you need to add "userquota" and/or "groupquota" to the options. 3. Enable or disable quota with quotaon/quotaoff 4. Edit quota for individual users or groups with edquota I suggest that you keep quota turned off at boot so your system doesn't hang, then enable quotas after boot as in 3. I've been trying to find something like this already documented but I haven't found anything at all. Did you check the handbook? Chp 16.14 seems to be for you. It is far more detailed than what I just wrote: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/quotas.html Cheers, Erik ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Quotas not working on FreeBSD 5.4 for amd64
Good Afternoon, this is my first post ever to this list and I hope is the right place... Recently (three weeks ago) I bought one dedicated server with FreeBSD 5.4-release for amd64 and I haven't been able to use quotas, after I tried to enable quotas in fstab over the home filesystem and rebooting, the system just hanged so I checked if quota was enabled on the Kernel but it wasn't... So I asked at the Datacenter and they told me they tried initially to enable quotas on the Kernel but it wasn't working at all and the server wouldn't start. I've been trying to find something like this already documented but I haven't found anything at all. My server config: FreeBSD 5.4-release for amd64 Cpanel/WHM Dual Opteron 244, 2GB of ECC Ram and two SATA Drives My questions: 1. Anyone knows about or had already this problem? is this normal? 2. Should I try to compile the kernel myself with quotas? Thanks in advance for any help, Melvin D.
