Perfect Server Fedora 7

I was not sure if I should post in the other persons thread or not.

I am having issues with quotas on page 4.

When I did this yum install quota, I got:

Code:

[root@server1 ~]# yum install quota

Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

Nothing to do

So I continued on fine until I got to quotacheck -avugm

I got an error about something being truncated. I apologize, but I restarted thinking that the system had become unstable, because I was no longer able to type anything in and I could not open another Terminal screen.

I want to run though the quota setup again, but I am now getting Permission Denied errors. I assume it did setup? How can I uninstall quotas so I can start over?

Fedora 7 x64

Thank you.

I think you did right to create a new thread. I only posted in the other persons thread as I believe my problem was intrinsically related.

Anyway, that yum message generally means that the software is already installed on your system. You can verify it by using:

Code:

yum info quota

To remove a software and its dependencies, you can can use:

Code:

yum remove quota

Hope that helps dude......

Any pointers now?

Code:

[root@server1 ssl]# yum install quota

Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Setting up Install Process

Parsing package install arguments

That's the normal behaviour: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...uota+truncated

Reboot your system, quota should work then.
