Quota problem on ubuntu 6.06 perfect setup.

Hi!

I get an error when I execute the command mount -o remount / when installing quota. I've always had problems with mount on my hard drive. It is a Western Digital 200GB Serial ATA drive. Which reminds me that whenever my kernel boots, it says ata2: disabling port. Right now my xfs file system is read only, but I can access it from KNOPPIX live cd.

If the mount command doesn't work, try to reboot your machine (instead of running the mount command). That should work then.

Right now my xfs file system is read only, but I can access it from KNOPPIX live cd.I'm not quite sure if quota works flawlessly on XFS...

It says mount: / is already unmounted, or bad argument

Ok, then run
shutdown -r now
instead of mount -o remount /
Afterwards, you can go on with your quota configuration.

Thanks a lot Falko. That did the trick.
