When I run quotacheck to create aquota.user in the /home directory I get the following message:
[root@frodo ~]# quotacheck -vc /home
quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.
quotacheck: Cannot remount filesystem mounted on /home read-only so counted values might not be right.
Please stop all programs writing to filesystem or use -m flag to force checking.
my fstab is:
[root@frodo ~]# cat /etc/fstab

# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'

I'm not sure if the problem lies with the way I partitioned my hard drive or how I edited fstab. Can someone help me with this?
