Is giving me this error at the system boot; quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda2 [/] Invalid Argument. I look on the boot.msg file and found that /dev/sda2 not shows in the mounting file system section. But when I manually try to mount tells me this device is already mounted. But in the case of /dev/sda3 the quota is turned on perfectly. Any clues

Looks ok. Which distribution are you using? My guess is that maybe your initrd doesn't have quota support.
Enable quota / partition I am using OpenSUSe 11.1 Kernel 2.6.27.25-.0.1 pae quota ver. 3.16 Compiled with EXT2_DIRECT HOST_ACCESS ALT_FORMAT RPC BSD-BEHAVIOR VFS disk quota dquot-6.5.1
Turniig quota on / partition Look it happens that at boot can´t turned on quota on the / partition but it did on /srv partition. And show this messages quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/sda2 [/]: Invalid argument quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)? quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda2 [/]: Invalid argument quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)? /dev/sda3 [/srv]: group quotas turned on /dev/sda3 [/srv]: user quotas turned on The quotas seem to be ok on /srv but not on / But after boot I run this commands mount -o remount / quotacheck -avugm quotaon -avug And I got turn quota On the / partition the messages are: /dev/sda2 [/]: group quotas turned on /dev/sda2 [/]: user quotas turned on /dev/sda3 [/srv]: group quotas device is busy /dev/sda3 [/srv]: user quotas device is busy Why?
