[SOLVED] question about quotas

when do we use the following command while configuring
group quotas in rhel5

mount -o usrquota,,grpquota <mountpoint>

You will want to enable those options in your /etc/fstab file on the drives you would like to enable quotas on.

Code:

/dev/sda1 /home ext4 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

Got the answer. the actual command was the below one without editing /etc/fstab file

#mount -o remount,usrquota,grpquota <mountpoint>

Using the mount command:

mount -o remount,usrquota,grpquota <mountpoint>

or if it is not mounted yet

mount -o usrquota,grpquota <mountpoint>
