Problem with quotas

[bilsta]

Hi,

I am using fedora 5, and have just installed direct admin, i have created a reseller account where i will create my users, now when i try and create the account i get an error:

Error with system Quotas
setquota: Mountpoint (or device) / not found. setquota: Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

The account gets created, but i would like to solve this error. I have been led to belive its something to do with my "/etc/fstab" file below is a copy of this:

LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0

Direct admin support pointed me to:

http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=42

But i am very new to linux, and frankly am confused, could anyone help me?

I would appreciate anyhelp

Regards
Billy

Hello,

This will be the magic line you want to edit:

LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1

and change it to:

LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults[b],usrquota,grpquota[/b] 1 1

Save, exit. Then type:

/sbin/quotaoff -a; /sbin/quotacheck -avugm; /sbin/quotaon -a;

Once that's done working, you should be back in business. If you've already created some accounts with broken quota limits, no worries, just run the following after you've fixed it, and the limits will be reset:

echo "action=rewrite&value=quota" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d400

Have you checked the quota command from the shell to see if it's got it right?

$ man quota

for help on how to use the quota command.
