User quota
Hi,
I want to apply the user quota, but i am unable to apply the quota to user.
Kindly provide the guide line, so that i can sortout the problem.
Step 1: Create partion on device
#fdisk /dev/sda (because hard disk is scsi)
#n (new partition table) i.e /dev/sda8.
#p ( to print the partition table )
#w ( write )
#partprobe
#mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda8
After that i am creating a folder in / (/deepak)
#mount -t /dev/sda8 /deepak then i got error.
#touch /deepak/aquota.user
then i got error. i.e.
[root@nms ~]# touch /deepak/aquota.user
[root@nms ~]# quotacheck -ufm /deepak/
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile /deepak/aquota.user was probably truncated. Can't save quota settings...
Thanks in advance
Tapan

convertquota
CONVERTQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual CONVERTQUOTA(8)
NAME
convertquota - convert quota from old file format to new one
SYNOPSIS
convertquota [ -ug ] [ -e | -f ] filesystem
DESCRIPTION
convertquota converts old quota files quota.user and quota.group to files aquota.user and aquota.group in new format currently used by
2.4.0-ac? and newer or by SuSE or Red Hat Linux 2.4 kernels on filesystem.
New file format allows using quotas for 32-bit uids / gids, setting quotas for root, accounting used space in bytes (and so allowing use of
quotas in ReiserFS) and it is also architecture independent. This format introduces Radix Tree (a simple form of tree structure) to quota
file.
OPTIONS
-u, --user
convert user quota file. This is the default.
-g, --group
convert group quota file.
-f, --convert-format
convert from old file format to new one. This is the default.
-e, --convert-endian
convert new file format from big endian to little endian.
-V, --version
print version information.
FILES
aquota.user new user quota file
aquota.group new group quota file
