A server was accidently rebooted (well, a technictian blew the power in the centre), and like normal I didn't think anything of the services that execute on boot up, thought theyre all ok...... Except today when I had 3 new customers..... Added one, and the good old quota denied error popped up....... Turns out the quotas weren't on!

So, my question is this, does quota need to be executed at bootup, quotarpc was but quota wasn't... :confused:

TIA
 
Do you have quotas enabled on the filesystem in /etc/fstab? As long as you have turned on the quotas and they are enabled in fstab you are fine.
The settings in fstab are fine, that is what is worrying
/dev/md6 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
Furthermore, when I reset the tallys via task.queue after enabling quotas again, the quotas didnt set (not sure if it is meant to), it was set to unlimited, so I had to set the user quota's that was added manually....
