    Hi  !

    just installed 2.4.19-rc3-ac2 and am trying to get my userquota running again.

    Problem: userquota does not seem to work (groupquota gives no error)

    Message:

    root@ch:~/package# quotaon -v -F vfsold /dev/sdb3
    quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/sdb3 [/home]: Invalid argument
    quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)?
    root@ch:~/package# quotaon /dev/sdb3
    quotaon: using /home/quota.user on /dev/sdb3 [/home]: Invalid argument
    quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)?

    I have tryed to old the new etc etc.... the filesystem is an ext3 filesystem.. maybe this is not functioning correctly ?????

    A small grep "Invalid" on the sourcecode seems to tell me this error message should only be valid on XFS filesystems ????

    Please .. help ..

    Yours,
    Christiaan den Besten

      The problem seems to be in the kernel. Please try upgrading to rc5-ac1.

      Hi!

      Just installed a new linux (debian) box, with core 2.4.19 kernel.
      When i installed the quota, it created a aquota.user file, but quotaon gives me an error, that quota.user not found. When i tried to force (with -F) to the new version, it says 'fs type not supported' or something.

      Ok then, i switched back to quota.user, and it works, but - something wrong with the grace period.
      I added soft-quota 50M and hard quota 60M. But looks like the limit is 50M, not 60 (i can't create files when i'm over 50 megs). I tried 'edquota -t', but there is the default 7days. The grace column empty in 'repquota -au' .
      This is normal? I never used quota before. I installed the 3.06 instead of the woody default (3.04 i think), but that's same.
