I've been trying to setup user and group quotas on a Dell PowerVault SCSI disk
array configured as /dev/sda1 (~1.5 TB).
I've edited my /etc/fstab files as follows:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/home /home ext3
defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sdb6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
and umounted and remounted the /home filesystem.
I then created the aquota files:
# touch /home/aquota.user
# touch /home/aquota.group
# chmod 600 /home/aquota.user
# chmod 600 /home/aquota.group
then finally I ran quotacheck:
# quotacheck -vagum
and I get this far:
[root@mediavault etc]# quotacheck -vagum
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile /home/aquota.user was probably truncated.
Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile /home/aquota.group was probably truncated.
Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/sda1 [/home] \
and it seems to hang indefinitely. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get
this going?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
