Quota

Get a quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota.
Then run:

touch /quota.user /quota.group
chmod 600 /quota.*
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm "happens at this step all others return to prompt"
quotaon -avug

 

Did you edit /etc/fstab and add ,usrquota,grpquota to the partition where you want to have quota on (should be your / partition)? This is absolutely necessary!

 

Yes in fact I did will do that again and double chect it.
The text is all there and saved file.
Then run:

touch /quota.user /quota.group "type command and hit return takes me to the root prompt again"

chmod 600 /quota.* "type command and hit return takes me to the root prompt again"

mount -o remount / "type command and hit return takes me to the root prompt again"

quotacheck -avugm "type command and hit return" quotachedk: Cant find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option

quotaon -avug "type command and hit return takes me to the root prompt again"

 

quotaon -avug

Okay seems it is one step at a time.
after restarting server
typing command quotaon -avug
response was quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/hda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
response was quotoan: using //quota.user on /dev/hda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
Is this correct and should I continue to the next step?

 

No, that's not correct. Re-boot and try again.

 

quotaon

It is still not working and have tried everything.

 

This is a copy of my fstab file exactly and it is not working now it can not find file system please help been stuck on this part of the tutorial for two days.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount
ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
/dev/sda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

 

This must go into a single line!

 

Quotaon -avug

It is and has been as a matter of rechecked saved file again used the command shutdown -r now. Ran the command again and it scanned. Same proceedure I followed multiple times now.
After that ran the command quotaon -avug "reply" device or resource busy. This is happening even after restart.

 

I Have the same issue on Debian amd64

 

Which one exactly?

 

Quota on email

how I can manage quota on email users.

Regards

 

Are those email users system users, or are they virtual?

 

local users.

 

Then you must install quota, configure it for the partition where your users' mailboxes are stored, and set quota for each user with the setquota command (see

Code:

man setquota

).

Have a look at the various "Perfect Setups" to find out how to install and configure quota.

 

Helo

I had the same Problem with Debian Sarge and testing.
Please run the "quotaoff -a" before "quotacheck -avugm"
touch /quota.user /quota.group
chmod 600 /quota.*
mount -o remount /
"quotaoff -a"
quotacheck -avugm "happens at this step all others return to prompt"
quotaon -avug

for me it helped!

 

seems to work

I think it works for me, but I'm not sure
if i set

Code:

quoutaoff -a

when i run

Code:

quotaon -avug

i receive this

Code:

quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/hda1 [/]: Device or resource busy
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/hda1 [/]: Device or resource busy

 

Reboot your system and then run

Code:

quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug

It should work then.

 

Problem solved

I searched on web and look what I find, if you have already started quota you get a error message.
