    I cannot figure out how to get quota support in a XEN virtual machine... Is this even possible? And how do you set it up. The way of doing it in the Perfect Server set-up doesn't work.

    Appreciate the help

    It should. Do you get any errors?

    I'll have to try it again. As soon as I do I will post the output

    here is the error message:

    Code:
    root@males005:~# vim /etc/fstab
    root@males005:~# touch /quota.user /quota.group
    root@males005:~# chmod 600 /quota.*
    root@males005:~# mount -o remount /
    mount: / not mounted already, or bad option
    root@males005:~# 
    
    here is a copy of my /etc/fstab
    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    /dev/hda1 none swap sw 0 0
    /dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount,usrquota,grpquota-ro 0 1
    
    Thanks for the help :)

    If mount -o remount / doesn't work, reboot the VM - it has the same effect. :)
