i want to implement disk quota on my /home filesystem (it is going to be a mail server) so i read tha appropriate how to's edited limits for the users and everything is fine but then for quota meintenance i stuck into quotacheck the man page says quotacheck should be run each time the system boots and mounts non- valid filesystems. This is most likely to happen after a system crash. AND It is also unwise to run quotacheck on a live filesystem as actual usage may change during the scan. To p...

...e tried to do this but all quota information was lost. Despite the fact that OST was formatted with quota support we are receiving this error message: Lustre: 3743:0:(lproc_quota.c:447:lprocfs_quota_wr_type()) lustrefs-OST0016: quotaon failed because quota files don''t exist, please run quotacheck firstly The message suggest to run the quotacheck command again, but maybe there is a faster solution. Could you please someone tell us a proper procedure, or point to a proper documentation? Thank you for any help. Best wishes, Gizo Nanava

Hi All, I think I have managed to corrupt my quota files so I need to run `quotacheck` but that needs the partition to have quotas off or be unmounted which isn't ideal for a production system :-p I was trying to find a way to force the system to do a full `quotacheck -cvuga` on a reboot but on looking in rc.sysinit it seems it will only force a quotacheck on boot when fsck...

Hi, I have exactly the same problem that you experienced in Nov, 2013. I am using ext4 with journaled quota and the quota usage is only updating when I run quotacheck manually. Have you found a solution? Regards, Alex > I have set up user quotas on an ext4 filesystem.

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? - aurf

Hi guys, i am running xen 3.1.0 from sources at my debian server. at the domU it seems there are no quota functionality: quotacheck -mav quotacheck: Cannot stat() mounted device /dev/hda1: No such file or directory quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. cat /etc/fstab cat /etc/fstab # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <du...

I have set up user quotas on an ext4 filesystem. It does not appear that the quota system is being updated, except when I manually run quotacheck. More detail: I run "warnquota -s" from a script in /etc/cron.daily. I noticed that no one had received an "over quota" message in a long time. Using "repquota -as", it indeed looked as though everyone was under their quotas. But "du" showed many people w...

??? Hi, I'm facing a challenge with selinux and because I don't got an explanation elsewhere, I'm trying to explain here. I have decided to mount /var/spool/cron on a separate partition? and apply quota for regular users. But quotacheck replyes with a "permission denied" . quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile /var/spool/cron/aquota.user.new: Permission denied quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Permission denied Indeed,? files in that directory has a context witch denies quotacheck process to write f...

Can anybody tell me if quota information is journaled ? After bad-shutdown the quota info is correctly or I need run quotacheck ?

I wish to impose a quota on a samba share. I''ve created a mount, using puppet, enabling usrquota. I''ve then run quotacheck manually, and edquota manually to set up the quota. I suppose I could have puppet deliver the aquota.user file, but I don'' think that doesn''t really enable me to rebuild the machine without manual intervention. What would be really awesome would be a quota type that drives quota...

Hi all, after installing a Lustre test file system consisting of 34 OSTs, I encountered a strange error when trying to set up quotas: lfs quotacheck gave me an "Input/Output error", while in /var/log/kern.log I found a Lustre error LustreError: 20807:0:(quota_check.c:227:lov_quota_check()) lov idx 32 inactive Indeed, in /proc/fs/lustre/lov/.../target_obd all 34 OSTs were listed and numbered, but number 32 was missing, instead I...

Hi CentOS 6.7 (kernel 2.6.32-573.el6.x86) ... Wanted to set up group quotas on a new ext4 filesystem. When i was initialising via quotacheck, received this message > quotacheck -vcg /HOMES quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. I liked sound of that, so i brushed up on the procedure and modified the mount line in fstab to: defaults,noatime,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0...

quotacheck takes longer than fsck on our ext2 fileservers. Is this redundant in ext3? Do I need data=journal? Cheers, Matt

Hi all, I am working with a pc cluster, running redhat el 4, on opteron cpus. we have several bigger RAID systems locally attached to the fileservers; now I would like to create a big striped filesystem with around 15TB. ext3 unfortunatelly only supports filesystem size up to 8TB, do you have an idea if / when this border will be increased ? I already found some discussions on LKML about it ?

After your done editing the fstab, rc.local, touch, chmod and reboot you should uses the following commands at the shell prompt quotacheck -avug /dev/hdaX # X would be the mounted filesystem quotaon -avug /dev/hdaX Quotas should be up and running after that. As for the quotacheck -c, Hog wash. I never had to use it with 7.2

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

...ext3... it seems not to work at all... I'm currently running 249-ac9 with no patches, slackware 7.x-current from january or so, all the quota-utils from the original distribution. the kernel prompts correctly "VFS: Diskquotas version dquot_6.5.0 initialized" and that was it. neither quotacheck nor repquota or any other quota-related tool works as it should do. Are there updated quotatools which are capable of handling ext3 filesystems? I searched the net for a while and couldn't find anything related to quota-utils... greetz Michael renner

Hi all, I've compiled samba --with-quotas, turned on user and group quotas on ext3, assigned quotas, BUT it does not seem to be working. Windows client always shows all available space instead of showing the quota. Do I miss something ? P.S. I run Debian with 2.4.19 kernel patched for ext3 ACL support (from acl.bestbits.at). -- Yuri Pismerov, Sr. System Administrator, TUCOWS.COM INC.
