Patching Kernel

I am trying to patch my kernel to be able to form the quotas, and have done the following thing:
1- I unloaded the patch quota-2.6.1-1-jquota.diff.gz
2- I decompressed patch
3- I copied the file decompressed in the directory/usr/local/src
4- I executed the commando patch - p1 </usr/local/src/quota-2.6.1-1-jquota.diff
is here where that not to become when it requests the file to patch.

Could you restate that a little clearer? What exactly are you trying to do?

try to copy it to /usr/src/linux (to the root of your kernel source) and try the same command again.

I need To limit the assigned disc space the users, and for that I need to know like installing a patch.

Just make it clear wat happened to you when you tried to patch the kernel

Alright, try the following. 'cd' to the directory your source is in. Then try the following command while you're in the source directory:

Code:

p1 < /usr/local/src/quota-2.6.1-1-jquota.diff

If that doesn't work, try substituting 'p1' with 'p2', 'p0', etc, etc.

I had some trouble trying to figure out how to apply my first patch too. If all else fails, post here again. Also, try not posting the same thread over. It just complicates things a bit. But you probably already know this.
