Hi,

I have a problem with the quota options in CentOS, today i wanted to transfer the user accounts from a old server to a new server. I was modifying my own (admin) account and the following error shows up:

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

I already tried the standard linux things such:

Code:
[root@server1 ~]# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: WARNING -  Quotafile //aquota.user was probably truncated. Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: WARNING -  Quotafile //aquota.group was probably truncated. Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/sda6 [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 6889 directories and 59583 files
[root@server1 ~]# quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/sda6 [/]: No such device
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda6 [/]: No such device
[root@server1 ~]#

And my /etc/fstab is okay too:

Code:
[root@server1 etc]# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults,usrquota,grpquota      1 1
LABEL=/tmp1             /tmp                    ext3    loop,noexec,nosuid,rw        1 2
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-ddf1_CentO   swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
[root@server1 etc]#

I never saw this problem before? My kernel (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 64 bits) supports quota too (there is a star on the line with quota support in the category ‘Filesystems’). Can anybody help me?

Thanks,

Niels.
 
The errors are farily specific. Your /etc/fstab file uses labels, so it's not telling us anything about your actual devices.

Perhaps the output of
Code:
$ df -h
will.

There was a problem in the raid array, i reinstalled the server and the problem was solved.

Thanks for you response!
