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
