hi everyone, i installed the ext3 fs on a test machine and tried to use quota on the ext3 filesystem. When i use the command quotaon /dev/hdb2 (the partition with the ext3 fs) i get the message: quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/hdb2: Invalid argument. I created the quota.user and quota.group files and set the permissions to 600. I use quota-2.oopre3-7a, e2fsprogs-1.20-0ext3, kernel 2.2.18 with the ext3-0.0.5e patch. Anyone can help me? -- Ingo Bosse Junior System Administrator mobile: 07880560167 email: ingo@brainstorm.co.uk (work) email: ingouk@xoasis.com (private)
Have you added quotausr,quotagrp to your /etc/fstab or specified these options when mounting the filesystem? man mount should explain those quota options.

Also, I gather quota is enabled in your kernel under Filesystem section?
