how to enable quota on centos
 

Dear All,

I want to enable quota on my centos 5.5, I've tried and it showed correctly quotacheck but when i rebooted the machine it showed me an error saying that fsck.ext3: no such file or direcotory while trying to open /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
below are my fdisk and fstab file.

Please help me how can I enable quota based on below configuration. otherwise may be I have to reformat the machine..n it'll be really painfull for me.


[root@drikdhaka ~]# fdisk -l

Thanks in advance for helping me

What is the command you have tried? (Should be something like 'quotacheck -vcugamMf'.) You also need to have the "usrquota" and "grpquota" mount options in /etc/fstab.


Do you use LVM? Because your 'fdisk -l' output says you don't...


That is unnecessary. GNU/Linux is not mcrsft.
