Quota problem on ubuntu 6.06 perfect setup.

Hi!

I get an error when I execute the command

Code:

mount -o remount /

when installing quota. I've always had problems with mount on my hard drive. It is a Western Digital 200GB Serial ATA drive. Which reminds me that whenever my kernel boots, it says

Code:

ata2: disabling port

. Right now my xfs file system is read only, but I can access it from KNOPPIX live cd.

 

What's the exact error message?
If the mount command doesn't work, try to reboot your machine (instead of running the mount command). That should work then.

I'm not quite sure if quota works flawlessly on XFS...

 

It says

Code:

mount: / is already unmounted, or bad argument

 

Ok, then run

Code:

shutdown -r now

instead of

Code:

mount -o remount /

Afterwards, you can go on with your quota configuration.

 

Thanks a lot Falko. That did the trick.
