quotacheck many many errors-hangs program

[Al1937]

Tried Server 9.0.4 and 8.04.3 LTS
Followed direction of both "Perfect Servers " using
puTTy and copy and paste.
Can't get quotacheck to work.
I have not a clue.
I am stopped and can't go any further until I resolve this.
Help please.

note: the code in the fstab file in "Perfect Server" instructions is different then the fstab file in the actual program?

What exactly did you do? What's in your fstab? What's the output of mount?
What errors do you get?

1, I downloaded the latest iso of Ubuntu Server 8.04.3 LTD
2, Made a bootable copy
3, Went through the basic install on the server computer.
4, Brought up " The perfect server 8.04" webpage on my workstation.
5, Using PuTTy on my work station I began a copy and paste
from "The perfect server 8.04" . Got to apt-get install quote,
OK.
6, Did a vi /etc/fstab
The contents of the fstab file as shown in the perfect server 8.04 is much different then the contents of vi /etc/fstab
There is a line that does match, that's where I inserted usrquota,grpquota , did Esc , :w, :q
7, Did a copy and paste of the next 3 instruction.
8, Copy and pasted the checkquota instruction.
9, One of the erros was:
Scanning /dev/mapper/server1-root
Error 2133571361
also
Syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'
also
Pages and pages of statements example:
[2754.916612] ata2.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
[2754.916938] ata2.00: error: { UNC }

Is there a way I can send you the contents of mount without having to type it?

Is there a way I can send you the contents of mount without having to type it?You can copy it from your SSH/terminal window.

What's in /etc/fstab?

This is what the file looks like in perfect-server-ubuntu8.04-lts-p4
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>

This is the content of the fstab file on my computer after I added usrquota,grpquota.

This is what's happening when I run:
root@server1:/home/albert# quotacheck -avugm

quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //quota.user was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //quota.group was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/mapper/server1-root [/] quotacheck: Something weird happened while scanning. Error 2133571361
root@server1:/home/albert#

quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //quota.user was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile //quota.group was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...This is normal when you run quotacheck for the first time.

I install 9.04 3 times , 8.04 twice.
I just did a reinstall for 9.04 . The only thing I did different was to use only 20 gb instead of full 40.7 gb when installing system. I swear I had the same quota problems with the preceding installs but this time IT WORKED. I apologize for wasting your time with this, I have no explanation as to what was happening. But many thanks for your patience and help.

No more Quota problems, it is fixed and I don't know how.
