I am following the howto for Fedora server. After following the steps for quota I run the quotacheck -avugm and get these errors. quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //aquota.user was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings... quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //aquota.group was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings... quotacheck: Scanning /dev/mapper/vg_doghouse-lv_root [/] quotacheck: lstat Cannot stat `//home/John/.gvfs': Permission denied Guess you'd better run fsck first ! exiting... I have rechecked the fstab and recreated the /aquota.user and /aquota.group. I also did and ls -al on the //home/John/.gvfs and it has a permissions of d????????? ? ? ? ? .gvfs Any ideas what is going on? Thanks, John
OK some more info and questions on this. I followed the Howto for Fedora 12. I was looking at the Howto for Fedora 11 and there are some differences. In the fstab for 12 it says to add after defaults ,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 and in 11 it says to add ,usrquota,grpquota Let me add that my system is not 64bit and here is my fstab just in case some one needs to see it # /etc/fstab # Created by anaconda on Tue Jan 26 12:13:28 2010 # # Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk' # See man pages fstab(5), findfs(8), mount(8) and/or blkid(8) for more info # /dev/mapper/vg_doghouse-lv_root / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0 1 1 UUID=de1b8e93-1d57-42af-a39a-ee5a200a869f /boot ext4 defaults 1 2 /dev/mapper/vg_doghouse-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
falko, I am unfamiliar with quota. So I don't know the difference between that and journaled quota. What would the request be? Can you tell me what to look for please. I will look it up with #man. Thanks. John
Which instructions gave you the error? The instructions from the Fedora 12 or the Fedora 11 tutorial?
@Falko, Also on Debian Lenny, now a message occurs, which suggests to use journaled quota instead. I ignored it during installation, but i want you to know.
The instruction was quotacheck -avugm Taken from page 3 of The Perfect Server - Fedora 12 x86_64 [ISPConfig 2]
Ok. First of all Hi, I saw ur issue here...and registered only to reply you xexe I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and i had exactly tha same problem. So a possible solution is: to run the commands through a tty window and not through kde or gnome's terminal console window. Just log off from your graphical environment and switch to e.g. tty1 window with the ctrl+alt+F1 keys. Run all the commands there (after u login ofc) and u are ok. Switch back to kde/gnome with ctrl+alt+F7 Hope, I helped ya.
Hi Hans, yes, I know, but these are just warnings. If you want to set up journaled quota, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-journaled-quota-on-debian-lenny
@Falko, Nice howto! IS it possible to setup journaled quota according http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set-up-journaled-quota-on-debian-lenny after setting up quota the normal way as described here at step 12?
I *think* that should work. You might have to delete the current /aquota.user and /aquota.group files though.
Did the original poster get a result? I am having the same permission denied problem when running the quotacheck command from the FC12 tutorial. FC12 ISPConfig3. Cyberw
and also I from the Ubuntu 10.04 install... the switching to tty didn't work either, same error message. But rebooting the system and they trying again shows quotas are ON... need to re-read fstab first?
my solution from desktop manager (i.e. kde, etc.) pres Ctrl+Alt+F1 login as root on terminal $ /etc/init.d/lightdm stop quotacheck -avugm
I forgot about this thread... everything sets up upon reboot. I've done several more setups and just rebooted after the quota setup before continuing on.
