quota works fine with a strange message...
 

Hello

I have a linux box Rh AS30 update 2 and I use quota tools 3.11

I setup quota file on five ext3 filesystems using quotacheck, quotaon. It worked
well. Now my users have quota, it 's ok but when they check their quota using
quota -lv or quota -l this message appears :

quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.

for example :

[]$ quota -l
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
Disk quotas for user jeanpba (uid 10520):
Filesystem blocks quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/sda1 1742148* 900000 2000000 24:05 29831 0 0
[]$

are you aware of this message, apparently one per filesystem. ?

thanks for your help ...

users cannot check their quota
 

Have you checked the file permissions on the aquota.user file ?
(located in the root of the quota enabled volume, eg: /home/aquota.user)

It should be readable for them.
eg:
-rw-r--r--
chmod 644 /home/aquota.user
