Hello all,
I am trying to figure out why quota's appear to be inoperational on my FC2 build. My fstab has only one partition where I want quota's active. It's entry is as follows:
/dev/sda1 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 2
When I try to invoke quotas I get the following response:
[root@darth etc]# /sbin/quotaon -av quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/sda1 [/home]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.
the quota rpm appears to be installed as per:
[root@darth2 etc]# rpm -q quota quota-3.10-2
I think you have to run quotacheck too, e.g.:
quotacheck -acug /home
The following document may be of help (keep in mind it's intended for RHEL though):
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/ch-disk-quotas.html
Hope that helps.
