According to /etc/rc, the quotacheck utility (which creates and updates the quota files) will be run only if check_quotas is set to YES.

Re: quotas on 5.3
Hello, I set the check_quota option to no in rc.conf because on boot i did not want the long delay in startup that quota checks cause. Is this my issue? Thanks.

About the long startup delay, as an example, I have a server (Dell 2850) which spends less than 2 minutes to check 3 * 73GB SCSI disks. I realyy find this acceptable, as this server will not be shutdown frequently.

Re: quotas on 5.3
Hi Dave, you can run the command: # /sbin/quotacheck -avgu This will create your quota.user file. Because you have set check_quotas=NO you can run the quotacheck command via cron task: 0 4 * * * root /sbin/quotacheck -avgu /dev/null HTH, Dave. Hello, Got a question on quotas. I've enabled them on /usr and /var filesystems by adding the userquota option to their options in fstab. This is after i recompiled my kernel with the QUOTA option in it and rebooted. I then added: enable_quotas=YES check_quotas=NO to /etc/rc.conf and again rebooted. According to the handbook quota files should be created automatically i don't have to touch any zero-length quota files. When the system came back up i checked /usr and /var for quota user files, i did not see them. Boot up messages indicate quota on /usr but again no quota file. Is this normal? Did i miss something?

quotas on 5.3
