I've run into a bit of a problem when I try and implement userquotas on my /home partition.
I followed the steps that were suggested in the Red Hat Manuals.
I did the following:
1) I edited /etc/fstab and add usrquota to the /home line:
$ mount /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/sda6 on /home type ext3 (rw,usrquota) none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda7 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda3 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /var type ext3 (rw)
So home does have the userquota set.
Next, I tried to run quotacheck -avug and received this:
$ quotacheck -avug quotacheck: Cannot get quotafile name for /dev/sda6
After tinkering a bit, I did this:
quotacheck -acvu ( dont need group quotas)
and this worked. It created the file aquota.user in /home
So I was curious if the reason why it did not work the first time was becuase I did not specify the -c flag?
Lastly, i'd like to learn more about using quotas. Any suggested further readings?
I appreciate it.
