[KLUG Members] Quota on Redhat 8.0

[Adam Williams]

> The school I work for just recently upgraded our servers to linux boxes.
> My perfered distro is slackware, but redhat was pre-installed with dell
> monitoring software so whatever.
>  My problem is with quotas, they don't
> work. How is redhat expecting me to create the /home/quota.user and .group
> files. Am I thinking in the wrong version of quota? I ran touch
> /home/quota.user /home/quota.group . I have also created the quota files
> using the quotacheck -c . Now edquota and quotastats run, and
> it looks like I have quotas, but on bootup, and at the commandline,
> quotaon -a fails with quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /home [/dev/sda6]
> to turn quotas on/off.
