defaults may be overridden in /etc/fstab.

-a If the -a flag is supplied in place of any filesystem names, quotaon/quotaoff will enable/disable all the filesystems indi-
cated in /etc/fstab to be read-write with disk quotas.

I keep on getting an error on my site saying
I've got a 250GB dedicated server, and have used less than 200mb of that.
The site has only been on the server for just over a month.
What does this mean and how can I sort it? (8 Replies)
