I am using RH 9.0 and i want to set the quota in the /home that is in a hda2 partition. The hda2 partition is " / ".
This is a orginal /etc/fstab file
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0


When i add:
/dev/hda2 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1 in the fstab file

Just by editing your fstab file isn't going to enable quota on your system. You will need to do more than just that.

May I suggest reading the quota howto at http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/doc...gle/Quota.html to get you started. Feel free to ask if you don't understand something you come across and or run into any problems.
