St. Pierre Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2004 5:07 PM To: redhat-list Subject: quota OK- Seeing how the RHEnterprise seems to skip this little tid-bit of info, can someone please fil me in. I am trying to run quotacheck on /var/spool/mail on a live system, via cron, as recomended. Unfortunately this is what happens: -bash </var/spool> sudo quotacheck -vug /var/spool/mail quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint /var/spool/mail so quotacheck might damage the file. Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking. OK, so what is the propoer procedure for checking quotas on a live system. I obviously need to check it while the system is live.and for /var/spool/mail I should probably do it once per night... should I just setup a script that does a qutoaoff, quotacheck -avgu, quotaon?
