    makeIt - 2007-06-20

    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

      can not mount local file system permission denied

      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.
