FreeBSD Quota Setup!

Hi,

I have followed the instructions on http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...ok/quotas.html combined with http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...-building.html to build a kernel with quotas. I thought i had enabled it as i added

Code:

options QUOTAS

to the very end of my GENERIC config file. I then issued:

Code:

# /usr/sbin/config MYKERNEL



# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL



# make depend



# make



# make install

I think rebooted but when i run `quotaon` it throws an error and when i try other quota commands it says that the kernel doesnt have quotas configured into it.

Any idea what i did wrong?

Thanks in Advance,

Did you read the handbook section on configuring a kernel?

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO...-building.html

You really should be building your kernel the "new way" It sounds like you built the kernel, but it didn't install properly.

i read the hand book, hence why i said i used that link in my original post ;) . I have tried using the "new" way but it just says "make doesnt know how to buildkernel" or something along those lines. I checked that kernel.old was made in /boot and it was, were is wasnt before.

Any idea why method 2 might not be working?
