Hi floks, I got following error when i tried to configure quota, touch /aquota.user /aquota.group -->ok chmod 600 /aquota.* -->ok mount -o remount / -->ok quotacheck -avugm quotacheck: Checked 5265 directories and 68531 files su93254144:/etc # quotaon -avug quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/sda2 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel. quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda2 [/]: No such process quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

And you are sure you run this command: apt-get install quota to install quota? Did you follow the howto exactly? It looks like your kernel is compiled without quota support.
since apt-get wasn't worked , i used yast -i quota command to install quota . su93254144:/etc # whereis quota quota: /usr/bin/quota /usr/share/man/man1/quota.1.gz( refere : http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2222 You can follw the tutorial even without installing and using debian. If you get a line like: apt-get install package1 package2 package3 replace it with: yast -i package1 package2 package3 The SuSe 10 perfect setup howto I've written uses this approach. ) thx, gimhan
As your kernel does not seem to have quota enabled, please have a look at this thread: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2141
After edit the /etc/fstab , Do i need to reboot the server to capture the configurations? I didn't reboot the server ? ( caz I access my server through ssh , server is located in separate place , I feel afraid to reboot the server caz server is located in a remote place ) Thx very much for u r comments abt that also ( server rebooting thing?)
You dont have to reboot your server after modifying the fstab, because you remounted the harddisk. Have you inserted the quota modules as described in the thread i posted?
If you put Code: quota_v1 quota_v2 at the end of /etc/modules, you must either reboot your server or run Code: modprobe quota_v1 modprobe quota_v2 If modprobe doesn't work, you can try Code: insmod quota_v1 insmod quota_v2 instead. Afterwards, run the steps described in the tutorial for quota.
Im my machine there is no "/etc/modules" . Do i need to install " module-init-tools" get that ("/etc/modules") ?
I tried with installing "module-init-tools". But was unable to find the "/etc/modules" or similar. Thx for any help .
Please try to insert the modules manually without inserting them in /etc/modules: modprobe quota_v1 modprobe quota_v2 If modprobe doesn't work, you can try insmod quota_v1 insmod quota_v2 Afterwards, run the steps described in the tutorial for quota.
Does it mean , we don't care about existency about the /etc/modules ? and run the modprobe quota_v1 modprobe quota_v2 OR insmod quota_v1 insmod quota_v2 before continue the tutorial .
/etc/modules is for storing the information which kernel modules to load on boot. If you can insert the modules manually, we can continue with the howto. I guess SuSe uses another mechanism then /etc/modules to store which kernel modules to load. We can try to find that out while you can continue with the howto.

Seems as if your kernel doesn't support quota. Either install another kernel, or compile a new one manually.
