Ext3 users - Dec 2001 - RedHat 7.2 quota problem

Hi everyone,

I need to setup quota on ext3 filesystem. I created /aquota.* files with 600
chmod, added grpquota and usrquota to /etc/fstab, remouted partition,

[root@zeby root]# mount
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota)
...

but when I try 

[root@zeby root]# quotaon /
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/hda1: Invalid argument.
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/hda1: Invalid argument.

any ideas ?

I'm using RedHat 7.2 - kernel 2.4.9-7 and quota-3.01pre9-3.

thanks a lot.

IIRC you need to create the files with quotacheck -c, not touch.

Indeed: if you still have a problem after that, please let me know.
