Quota configuration error/ suse 9.3

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.

NOTE:
my fstab would looks like,

/dev/sda2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda6 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda3 /var ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 2
/dev/sda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0

It is a real server .

 

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.

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?)

 

Comrade Till,
Now the time to go me, Shall i reply the results tomorow .

Thx,
gimhan

 

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") ?

 

Yes, try that. The name of the package might differ on SuSE.

 

I tried with installing "module-init-tools".
But was unable to find the "/etc/modules" or similar.
Thx for any help .

 

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 .

 

Results


modprobe quota_v1
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.9-smp/modules.dep: No such file or directory

insmod quota_v1
insmod: can't read 'quota_v1': No such file or directory

 

What about quota_v2?

 

Results

modprobe quota_v2
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.11.4-21.9-smp/modules.dep: No such file or directory

insmod quota_v2
insmod: can't read 'quota_v1': No such file or directory

 

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