The system is not robust: # /etc/init.d/boot.quota restart Turning off quota done Turning quota on Checking quotas. This may take some time. quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/md2. Please specify format on commandline. quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/md2. Please specify format on commandline. quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/md2] to turn quotas on/off. quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/md2] to turn quotas on/off. failed # quotacheck / quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/md2. Please specify format on commandline. quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option. It seems quotacheck can't read the format from the mount options. Unfortunately man quotacheck doesn't say what the correct name for the format mount option would be (another bug). Oops, # quotacheck -F vfsv0 -m / fails to produce quota files after finishing the disk scan without error. This whole quota scheme doesn't currently seem to work at all :(( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I can not find any indication of hardware malfunction on this system (it's old, but stable). I restored the fstab entry for / as per originally installed (usrjquota=aquota.user,grpjquota=aquota.group,jqfmt=vfsv0) and rebooted. rm /aquota.* /etc/init.d/boot.quota restart Turning off quota done Turning quota on Checking quotas.
