by I'm trying to use quota on Linux Red Hat 7.1 . I have the latest
updated quota and initscripts RPMs. fstab has the correct filesystems
marked with usrquota .
When I issue edquota -u bob , I can edit bob's quotas fine.
aquota.user is created fine.
However, when I reboot or turn on quotas using quotaon -a , it
complains that user.quota does not exist.
ie. edquota is using aquota.user but quotaon is looking for quota.user
If I touch user.quota then quotaon complains that there is an invalid
argument in quota.user . But edquota doesn't edit quota user, it edits
aquota.user! Arrghhh!
What the arse is going on, and how can I fix this please? Thanks
muchly.
quotacheck -m works fine.
repquota works fine and shows the quotas I set up using edquota
Quotas are NOT enforced by the system - can fill directories many
times over hard limits
