same issue as in "quotas nfs-utils and Mandrake 8.0 kernel 2.4.3" 
from 21 Jun 2001 by Jason Smith. 

I've an AMD Athlon based System with 2 IBM 9.1 GB U160-SCSI harddisks.

I want to have user quota working on partitions /dev/sdb1 (/var) 
and /dev/sdb2 (/home) 

Running quotacheck on these devices doesn't create the needed files 
aquota.users and aquota.group.

I did an strace on quotacheck and discovered two strange things:

mount(umovestr: Input/output error
0, "/home", "ext2", MS_RDONLY|MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed0000, 0) = 0

seems to try a mount on /home, but fails?

shmat(4, 0x80d2768, 0x2ptrace: umoven: Input/output error) = ?

this happens on a lot of files.

mount(umovestr: Input/output error
0, "/home", "ext2", MS_REMOUNT|0xc0ed0000, 0) = 0

trying to remount r/w also seems to have problems.

I hope somebody here can help me with this issue. I need the quota 
support urgently.
