i just had new DA installed at my server which is my 3rd one, i noticed there is an error during installation:

21:08:56 (96.76 KB/s) - `/usr/local/directadmin/update.tar.gz' saved [3193709/3193709]

*** You have /var partition. The databases, emails and logs will use this partition. *MAKE SURE* its adequately large (6 gig or larger)
Press ctrl-c in the next 3 seconds if you need to stop
All Checks have passed, continuing with install...
Setting hostname to `aleph.mydomain.net'
Checking quotas...
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/hda7] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/hda7] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on /home [/dev/hda8] to turn quotas on/off.
quotaoff: Cannot find quota file on /home [/dev/hda8] to turn quotas on/of

i ignored it and countinued the installation, after completed everything, i came back and check my fstab

cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/dev/shm/tmpfs /dev/shm/tmpfs ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
LABEL=/tmp /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2
LABEL=/var /var ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

as you can see / and /home have quota enabled, will there be any bad effect in the feature? i'm not sure what is the warning for, i don't want to test run ./setup.sh in order to comfirm i'm not getting that error msg.

any comments on this issue?

thanks.
 
It appears as if quotas weren't enabled when you started installing DA, but that the DA install enabled them on those partitions.

i've the same problem, but if i wait install dont continue... im using debian 3.1, some one can help me?
You'll have to re-compile the Kernel with quotas options; or start over and make sure the quotas are activated in the Kernel before installing DA.
