Quotas going wrong on HD's

When I make the file system do i have to specify the quota options?

I'll mount it like this in /etc/fstab:

Code:

/dev/hdb1         /var/mail         ext3      defaults,usrquota,grpquota    0       2

I made the filesystem with:

Code:

mke2fs -j /dev/hdb1

Is it wrong?

You don't have to specify anything special when you create the filesystem, but you do need to do a little more than mount it with the options you show. Take a look at http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/Lin...ialQuotas.html
