I'm trying to set up quotas on a LM8.1 server ( yes i know it needs upgrading, which is in progress but till then its still being used, and as usual they want it now ) using kernel 2.4.18-8.2mdk.
I have quota-3.01-0.1mdk.ia64.rpm installed, and i have fstab set up. I can run quotacheck, which tells me it has updated and replaced the aquota.user and aquota.group files. I can add users with edquota username, and i can run repquota -av which gives me a listing of all the quota accounts i have added with their individual settings. my problem now is if i run quotaon /spare1, /spare1 is the partition i'm using for quotas, i get the following # quotaon /spare1 quotaon: quotactl() on /dev/sdb8: Invalid argument quotaon: quotactl() on /dev/sdb8: Invalid argument and because quotaon comes back with an error, its not turning quotas on adn it doesn't update the userquota data when they add/ remove files. if i run quotaon -avug i go back to the command line with no verbose or errors, but again checking user quotas, add/removing files does not change their quota used values. I've googled all night for info on the invalid argument, but can't find anything specific to my problem, i get lots of quotactl() man pages but there a bit beyond telling me where to look Had anybody any ideas they can pass to me. Many thanks Ken
