View Full Version : Turning quota ON

Is giving me this error at the system boot; quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda2 [/] Invalid Argument.
I look on the boot.msg file and found that /dev/sda2 not shows in the mounting file system section.
But when I manually try to mount tells me this device is already mounted. But in the case of /dev/sda3 the quota is turned on perfectly. Any clues

What are the outputs of mount and fdisk -l? What's in /etc/fstab?

Looks ok. Which distribution are you using?
My guess is that maybe your initrd doesn't have quota support.

Look it happens that at boot canīt turned on quota on the / partition but it did on /srv partition. And show this messages
quotaon: using //aquota.group on /dev/sda2 [/]: Invalid argument
quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)?
quotaon: using //aquota.user on /dev/sda2 [/]: Invalid argument
quotaon: Maybe create new quota files with quotacheck(8)?
/dev/sda3 [/srv]: group quotas turned on
/dev/sda3 [/srv]: user quotas turned on
The quotas seem to be ok on /srv but not on /
But after boot I run this commands
mount -o remount /
quotacheck -avugm
quotaon -avug
And I got turn quota On the / partition the messages are:
/dev/sda2 [/]: group quotas turned on
/dev/sda2 [/]: user quotas turned on
/dev/sda3 [/srv]: group quotas device is busy
/dev/sda3 [/srv]: user quotas device is busy
Why?
