Need help with quota on fedora core 11

I am a Linux newbie running Fedora core 11 and having difficulties getting quota to work. Here's what I have done so far:

I do :

Code:

yum install quota

Installs quota fine.

Then I edit fstab :

Then run :

Code:

touch /aquota.user /aquota.group
chmod 600 /aquota.*
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

The aquota.user and aquota.group files get created.

File system mounts ok.

However when I run quotacheck -avugm I get the following messages :

When I run quotaon -avug I get the following messages :

Then I reboot the system.

Nothing is written to aquota.user or aquota.group. And I still get the error messages as above.

To me it seems that there may be a problem with permissions on / file system but i'm not sure what they should be.

Where am I going wrong?

Any ideas / advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

Can you try to set up journaled quota, as described in chapter 7 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-fedora-13-x86_64-ispconfig-2-p3 ?

 

Hi Falko, I have edited my fstab to use journaled quota as you advised.

I changed fstab to :

Then I rebooted system and did :

Code:

touch /aquota.user /aquota.group
chmod 600 /aquota.*
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

quotacheck -avugm returns :

quotaon -avug returns :

Tried rebooting and still get errors.

 

Is it

Code:

/dev/mapper/vg_gizmo-lv_root / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.gr oup,jqfmt=vsfv0 1 1

?
Should be

Code:

/dev/mapper/vg_gizmo-lv_root / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vsfv0 1 1

(without space in aquota.group).

 

Hi Falko,

Its definately

Code:

/dev/mapper/vg_gizmo-lv_root / ext4 defaults,usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vsfv0 1 1

dont know why space appeared in group.
