I have been searching the web for weeks seeking to find out definitively if the JFS filesystem supports quotas.
I found an entry that JFS quota was support in kernel => 2.6.9, I'm currently running 2.6.14 with quota-3.13 which I see has the patches to support JFS.
I suppose my question is, does anyone have a working setup with JFS and quota.
whenever i try to run quotaon I get the error message :
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/md4 [/]: Invalid argument
quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)?.
The quotacheck tool was used to create these files.
Please help as this problem has me dead in the water.
Thanks

Sorry for a bit late answer but I was out of email access for some while. Quota tools as such support JFS. The problem is with kernel support. At some short time (as you say around 2.6.9) the support was there. But the quota code had to be redesigned to fix some deadlock issues and I don't have knowledge/time to fix JFS accordingly. So its support is currently disabled again (I notified JFS developpers about this but got no answer). So if you want JFS quota support, ask JFS developpers please.
Bye
