I think the problem has nothing to do with quotas. My personal guess is that at the time mount(1) tries to mount
your /quota filesystem, the filesystem /usr (or /) is still mounted read-only and thus you cannot access a file on it read-write. Maybe moving a line with your filesystem to the end of /etc/fstab may help or can modify startup scripts and add mounting of this filesystem somewhere...

You just have to take text editor and modify them :) The trick is to find the right script to modify... The script you are looking for is probably located somewhere in /etc/init.d/. I guess contacting some forum of Fedora users may be helpful for you... they can probably give you more detailed answer than I can.

hi everybody
this is my story:
i have fedora 6
i wanted to enable quota on my system
so i followed the steps in this tutorial
souptonuts.sourceforge.net/quota_tutorial.html
and it does work perfectly with me
but the automount does not work
and every time the system reboot
i need to login as Root and mount the partion/image manually
my fstab is like is a normal one
and i did add this line to it (the same as tutorial)
/usr/disk-img/disk-quota.ext3 /quota ext3 rw,loop,usrquota,grpquota 0 0
but it give me fail to mount read/write .....
and if i do change (rw) to (ro)
then it will work but it will be useless
please help me because i need to find a solution asap
or tell if there is another way
*******************************************
add to that a msg at boot time said
