    hello :)

    using kernel 2.4.26 on a slackware based system and this is the error we get

    root@socr:/# quotaon /home
    quotaon: using /home/aquota.user on /dev/sda3 [/home]: No such process
    quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.

    aquota.user exists (was made successfully by quotacheck), repquota also runs fine, fstab has the usrquota entry in the right place ...

    but this is what we get on reboot
    # quotaon -ap
    group quota on /home (/dev/sda3) is off
    user quota on /home (/dev/sda3) is off

    and on quotaon /home the above error ... help!!!

    PS:
    root@socr:/# quota -V
    Quota utilities version 3.12.
    Compiled with RPC and EXT2_DIRECT

      The problem is probably in what the error message says: Quota format is not supported in your kernel. So you should compile or get somewhere a kernel that will have quota support enabled.
