Hi all,
I just got started with DA today on a server that has been set up for a client of mine. I installed RH9 on the server and chose ReiserFS for the filesystem type. Unfortunately, I just discovered that ReiserFS does not support quotas!
So I think I have to reinstall the OS and select ext3 as the filesystem type so quotas will work. However, I came across this thread: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=683&highlight=reiserfs and that indicates that maybe I don't have to reinstall, but just modify a crontab file.
My question is - what does the crontab modification do? I ran the crontab commands manually, but they don't seem to have any effect on the ReiserFS partition. I even used "strace" to see what the system calls are doing, but it doesn't look like much is going on. How does DA interact with this quota command in the crontab file, and what does increasing the frequency do?
Thank you,
Greg Larkin
