Testing showed that quota cannot be enabled on / partition until it is remounted. After that quotaon works just fine. Adding "mount -v -o remount /" to /etc/init.d/boot.quota helps to enable quota during boot-up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install and configure SuSe 11.1 and enable quota support for / partition: /etc/fstab: /dev/sda6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota 1 1 /dev/sda7 /home ext3 acl,user_xattr,usrquota 1 2 # quotacheck -avugm 2. Reboot. 3. Check quota status 4. Try to enable quota with "quotaon /" or with "/etc/init.d/boot.quota restart" Actual Results: Quota is not enabled on / but enabled on /home # quotaon -p -a group quota on / (/dev/sda6) is off user quota on / (/dev/sda6) is off group quota on /home (/dev/sda7) is off user quota on /home (/dev/sda7) is on Enabling quota on / fails with: # quotaon / quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda6 [/]: Invalid argument quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)? # /etc/init.d/boot.quota restart Turning off quota /dev/sda6 [/]: user quotas turned off /dev/sda7 [/home]: user quotas turned off Turning quota on Checking quotas. This may take some time. quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda6 [/]: Invalid argument quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)? /dev/sda7 [/home]: user quotas turned on Expected Results: It should not fail and should enable quota for / partition since everything is configured properly. This might be a configuration problem, but I doubt so, because both partitions (/ and /home) were configured in the same way and - it works OK after remounting the partition. So it seems like remount does something which I guess should be done automatically by quotaon. Basically the "solution" looks like this: # mount -o remount / # # quotaon -v / /dev/sda6 [/]: user quotas turned on # That's it - after that quota seem ot work OK, nothing was changed in the configuration between mount and quotaon commands. For now I also added this remount to boot.quota initscript, this can be considered as a workaround: # diff /root/boot.quota /etc/init.d/boot.quota 87a88,90 > echo "Remounting / partition" > mount -v -o remount / > echo "Running quotaon:" Absolutely the same issue is described here: http://forums.opensuse.org/install-boot-login/419389-problem-turning-quota.h...
