Help with setquota

[jj20051]

Hello,

I recently installed Direct Admin on my VPS, however it seems to be having the following error:

setquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found or has no quota enabled. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota

So I found this article on it: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=42

and it says to edit fstab, however I'm unsure exactly how to do that. I've train various combinations of the rw,usrquota,grpquota options, but nothing seems to work so I'm posting my original file here:

proc  /proc       proc    defaults    0    0
none  /dev/pts    devpts  rw          0    0

My Partition Data:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs             50G  1.4G   49G   3% /
tmpfs                 512M     0  512M   0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs                 512M     0  512M   0% /dev/shm

OS: Debian 5 - 32 Bit

I've tried out a lot of combos hoping one would work with the /usr/sbin/repquota / function...

My config file is set to / for the partition at the moment, but that can be changed... I'm just a bit lost and it'd be nice if someone would post an article on exactly what to do, for those of us who aren't that linux savvy.

You should check with your VPS provider to make sure quotas work on your VPS.

According to my provider its enabled and they set it to 1000 entries by default.

After much work I finally got it resolved, thanks anyway.

This makes no sense to me, because quota has nothing to do with entries.

Does this make sense to anyone else?

I'd guess a quota entry is an entry in the /etc/fstab, but the term is more commonly used in Windows.

Edit: After some searching, a quota entry is to set up quota limits and warning levels before the user actually writes data to the volume. This is useful when you do not want to use the default disk space limit and warning level values for a particular user. Typically, the default disk space limit and warning level values established by the volume administrator are sufficient for new users of the volume.
