CentOS - Jan 2011 - disk quotas + centos 5,5 +xfs

Hi all,

is any one aware quotas not working in 5,5?

I'm using XFS as a file system.

My fstab has the appropriate usrquota,grpquota but when I try to run;

quotacheck -cug /foo

I get;

quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted  
with quota option.

I already have a large amount of data in the mount.  Do quotas get  
implemented on only empty filesystems and then one adds data?

Did you remount /foo after modifying /etc/fstab?



BTW: http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_quota

check the QUOTA ADMINISTRATION section:

"The quotacheck command has no effect on XFS filesystems. The first
time quota accounting is turned on (at mount time), XFS does an
automatic quotacheck internally; afterwards, the quota system will
always be completely consistent until quotas are manually turned off."


And the EXAMPLES section:

# mount -o uquota /dev/xvm/home /home
# xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bsoft=500m bhard=550m tanya' /home
# xfs_quota -x -c report /home

They work just fine; first hit on Google, http://linux.die.net/man/8/xfs_quota

Same thing here.

Try :
$ repquota -sav
