I've installed a Debian Sarge as shown in: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge_p3 But I always get the following errors: >quotaon -avug quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented I found the following: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-2141.html But this do not help me The Server is a RootDS SCSI from Hosteurope. Does anybody has an idea what I could/should do to get quotas work?
Yes, I do exact as in the Howto discribed apt-get install quota quotatool I ask Hosteurope about their "usual" preconfiguration and I found the following: zgrep -i CONFIG_QUOTA /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_QUOTA is not set CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y I wonder that the Quota Support seems to be not in the usual setup... What can I do to activate it, do I realy have to compile a new kernel or can I fix it by changing something inside a conf-file? Beside: till, I read so many answers of you, do you never sleep or do you have build up some clones Thanks for so much help
OK, I build a new kernel http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch08s05.html.en and activate Quotas. I reboot with the new Kernel and same as before: >quotaon -avug quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented zgrep -i CONFIG_QUOTA /proc/config.gz # CONFIG_QUOTA is not set CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y I have never had problems with quotas but this time... I do not know what to try next, anybody out there with an idea?
It's a real one (Hosteurope HE Server L), Dell Intel P4 2,8, 80GB SATA (Debian shows them as SCSI? -> sda3) I've found out that the Kernel config at /boot has quota set to yes but the running Kernel (/proc/config.gz) shows quota not set...?
The solution finaly was simple... A Hosteurope coworker told me that they think it is normal to do not install a Kernel wich supports quotas... The real problem, I think is the special Hardware from Dell, wich need a couple of special drivers. They told me that the change of the Kernel, wich I can't do by myself because of the Dell drivers I could not find (they are only available for Dell customers, I think), will produce costs. After some phonecalls they do it without computation... Now everything works and my opinion about Dell is still the same... Thanks everybody for the Help
