I have never been able to get quota to install properly without a "Buffer I/O Error, dev hdc" by following the exact How To Instruction. When I tried to install Ubuntu, different versions, if I were to use the the suggested disk size space (all free space) I could never get quota to work. If I selected 30 G of a 40 G drive to be used, quota worked OK. When I tried to install Centos Ver 4.8 or 5 using "automatic partitions" quota install failed every time. If I manually set up the different partitions, quota would install OK. Am I the only one to have this "quota" problem? I am now trying to install Debian Lenny, and yes! I am having to same quota install error using the How To suggested partitioning scheme. I am now going to install Debian Lenny again from scratch and try a different partitioning scheme also load journaled quota to see if that makes a difference. Am I the only one to have this "quota" problem? Is so.... Why only me? Help please.
Found the problem. I have been using quick format on the drive I was installing my Linux system. I finally got smart enough to to use chkdsk /r on the drive. Found over 82meg of bad blocks. Reinstalled Debian Lenny using the /var /boot /home ... partition option. Installed "normal" quota. All works fine. Later that night: Well almost. All looked good untill I went to load ISPConfig2. "Not enough disk space, need 510 meg" So I did a /sbin/shutdown -r -F now Many failures!!!-- Best Buy here I come. This hard drive caused me to up my Linux learning curve. Make the best of a bad situation. So it wasn't a total lose of my time.
