Problem setting user quotas


Hi all,

I have VSFTPD installed, and it's working really well.

What I want to do is create new users, assign them a home directory, and limit their disk quotas to certain sizes depending on a few things.

In this case, I made a user called 'ftp123test' and am trying to assign him a disk quota of 100MB.

In fstab, quotas are enabled. I ran 'edquota ftp123test' and set hard and soft to 100, like so:

Code:
[root@u15157697 /]# quota -v ftp123test
Disk quotas for user ftp123test (uid 10032):
     Filesystem  blocks   quota   limit   grace   files   quota   limit   grace
      /dev/hda3       0     100     100               0       0       0
[root@u15157697 /]#
Which I *think* is correct. However when I login to the FTP server as him, I still get the "Quotas off" message.

Code:
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp123test ftp123test    31503 Feb  8 20:39 ViperVsEvo1-vi.jpg
-rw-r--r--   1 ftp123test ftp123test   110984 Feb  8 20:40 artpad.jpg
226-Transfer complete.
226 Quotas off
ftp>
What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

And here's my /etc/fstab:

Quote:
[root@u15157697 /]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
Home directories (the only place I want Quotas) are on hda3.

Also tried:

Code:
[root@u15157697 /]# quotaon -avug
/dev/hda3 [/]: user quotas turned on
[root@u15157697 /]#
Same message logging into FTP though.

Try using 'quotacheck'

Also 'repquota -a' will show all users quotas and statuses

Quotacheck returns me nothing, no errors either.

repquota - a returns:

Code:
ftp123test +-     148     100     100  7days       3   100   100
So it looks like they're on, but just not being recognized in my FTP software.
