Your quota settings are different then enabling quota for the account. To have user quota's you have to have quota's enabled on the volume with the command quotaon. Then you can edit the quota for a particular user with the command edquota. If you wish to apply a quota from one account to another account, you do it with edquota like such: It is not an entry in your fstab entry. The command is: edquota -p sourcequotausername user1 user2 user3 user4 use xargs to do it cat usernamelist.txt | xargs edquota -p sourcequotausername Read what the -p switch does, do man edquota. It will then apply the quota of sourcequotausername to all the usernames listed in the usernamelist.txt file. > --Luke > --Computer Science Sysadmin, MSU Bozeman > --admin(AT)cs.montana.edu 994-3931 > -----Original Message----- > From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com] > On Behalf Of glarm > Sent: Friday, January 24, 2003 3:47 PM > To: psyche-list@redhat.com > Subject: Quota problems > > Hello, > I am trying to set up quota on RedHat 8.0 for my account then replicate it > to the other 1500 accounts.
