Hey all,
I followed the NHF on turning quotas on and gosh darn it isn't working. I went ahead and followed the NHF on recompiling the kernel to make sure quotas were turned on, so as far as I can tell quotas are enabled in the kernel, and I put the aquota.user and aquota.group files in the root of the filesystem I want to quota (/home). As in the NHF, I just touched them and chmod'ed them to 600. So when I reboot the machine or run quotaon, it give me the following error:
quotaon: using /home/aquota.group on /dev/hda5: Invalid argument
quotaon: using /home/aquota.user on /dev/hda5: Invalid argument
Now, the arguments I gave quotaon where just -avug, the usual ones. Anyone run into a problem like this? I'm stumped.
Possibily pertinent info:
Redhat 7.2
linux-2.4.7-10 kernel (custom - quotas enabled)
quota-3.01pre9-3
ext3 filesystem (shouldn't matter, should it?)
Thanks for any help.
