setting up a guest account, nopasswd, and quota

BW-userx · 12-28-2018, 12:32 PM

I go tas far as creating a user with passwd, for starters, then fstab adding usrquota, and the file in /home

then when I got to check it, I got this message

Code:

$ sudo quotacheck -vgum -F ext4  /home 
quotacheck: Unknown quota format: ext4
Supported formats are:
  vfsold - original quota format
  vfsv0 - standard quota format
  vfsv1 - quota format with 64-bit limits
  rpc - use RPC calls
  xfs - XFS quota format

so quota user size homes can only be restricted by them formats and not ext4????

and how to do this for good mesure.

Have you tried without "-F", so:

Code:

sudo quotacheck -vaug /file_system

this is VOID Linux and not Red Hat but that is all I could find everything else pointed back to that reference, how to.

without the -F it says it has no idea of file type

app name is 'quota'

Code:

$  sudo quotacheck -vgum   /home 
quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/sda2. Please specify format on commandline.
quotacheck: Cannot find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.

I just found this using a different search pattern

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_quota

now to see about setting the actual limits on guest.

here is another one in case someone checks this out
