NEWBIE: diskquota

Hi !

I'm trying to set-up diskquotas on a volume in the AIX environment.
I follow the instructions from

 AIX Version 4.3 System Management Guide: Operating System and Devices

Setting Up the Disk Quota System

to 100 %

everything seems OK ...

when I do

quotaon -v /mydisk

it says

/mydisk: group quotas turned on
/mydisk: user quotas turned on

however, if I test like

quota -g mygroup

it says

Disk quotas for group mygroup (gid 202): none

likewise for the user :-/

I've tried to mount and unmount the device.
The filesystem is jfs, which I suppose is the journaling file system,
which apparantly is required for disk-quota.

I've also tried to simply log in as the user, create files (in total)
larger than the quota I've configured, and .. the system lets this
through ..

It feels like I'm doing something fundamentally wrong here, or ..
something is very wrong in the manual (for exampel .. maybe you
configure MegaBytes instead of kiloBytes ?

please .. someone help me out on this one .. .

regards

/bengt

the entry in the /etc/filesystems look like this ..

/mydisk:
        dev             = /dev/lv01
        vfs             = jfs
        log             = /dev/loglv00
        mount           = true
        options         = nodev,nosuid,rw
        account         = false
        quota           = userquota,groupquota

which seems ok to me ..

the "quota.group" and the "user.group" files are in /mydisk

the quota group look like this ..

/mydisk: blocks in use: 0, limits (soft = 100, hard = 100)
        inodes in use: 0, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)

You aren't testing this by creating files as root, are you?
btw - the block are 1K blocks.

Try using the command:

quatacheck /mydisk

that should repair the configuration.
