Hi, as suggested earlier i looked into the "quota" program, and ive been
having some strange problems:
steps i have taken:
urpmi'd quota
read some hotow's...great...i know what to do
in /home i did "touch aquota.user;chmod 600 aquota.user"
then i edited /etc/fstab and added ",usrquota" in the correct place in the
/dev/hda6 (/home) line
mount -o remount /home -remounted /home
so far so good (this method has worked for a friend and many other people...
then i type edquota -u temp to set the quota but i get this error:
edquota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
No filesystems with quota detected.
strange! Anyone got any ideas? I run mandrake (which im sure you all know
supports quota by default)
thanks in advance
