disk quota + 2.4.3 and higher -- OOPS

[Zakhar Kirpichenko]

	Hello over there.

	Sorry for offtopic (may be), but disk quotas don't work on Red Hat
Linux 7.1 and kernels 2.2.x and 2.4.x. Quota tools installed from RPM
package provided in standard RH distribution: quota-3.00-4, 2.4.2-2 kernel
sources taken from the dist too. Other kernel versions support quota
partially: repquota gives some quota statistics, but the kernel doesn't
update quota data until 'quotacheck' is run manually. Disk quotas don't
work too - even when repquota shows some limits, 'quota' doesn't and any
user can write to the fs inspite of the disk limits.

	Please, help if you have any ideas.

Umm. I must be imagining the quotas that work on my test box.

The RH 7.1 quota tools assume you are running the updated quota code (needed
for 32bit user ids - the standard kernel tree code is just a dead loss in
the real world). Quota support is only available in some file systems too,
so MSDOS file systems for example do not support quota.

  And what does say command 'quotaon -avug' executed as root? It seems to me
like quotas aren't turned on in kernel...

	Nope. Disk quotas ARE turned on and ARE working properly for all
local user. Disk quotas DON'T wrok under freevsd 1.4.9-2.
