Bah, I'm about to wash my hands of quota support entirely.  Never before
have I found such an UNDER documented project.  From what I can tell, I've
got quota's setup, however, when I try and run quotastats, I get this error:

quotastats: Error while getting quota statistics from kernel: Bad address

And I have verified I have quota's enabled in the kernel:

VFS: Diskquotas version dquot_6.5.0 initialized

I recompiled my quota tools from sourceforge (latest version)

I enabled quota's on /home/www mountpoint.  Initialiazed the aquota.group
and aquota.user and made a new user test, in group test homedir
/home/www/test.  I did edquota -g test and put in quota values:

Disk quotas for group test (gid 2029):
  Filesystem                   blocks       soft       hard     inodes
soft    hard
  /dev/rootvg/weblv                 0       1000        500          0
1000    1000

I tried copying alot of files (about 500MB worth, just to prove a point) and
had no problems.  Maybe it's the fact I can't find any documentation about
how to setup quota's step by step (I found it for the old version of quota)
but I'm starting to get frustrated.

If anyone has any ideas, pointers, suggestions, it'd be appreciated.

Regards,

Tren.

You probably need to update the quota tools.  Head over to

www.sourceforge.net/projects/linuxquota
