I've installed a Debian Sarge as shown in:
http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge_p3

But I always get the following errors:
>quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented

I found the following:

But this do not help me
The Server is a RootDS SCSI from Hosteurope.

Does anybody has an idea what I could/should do to get quotas work?

Have you installed quota with the command:

Quote:

apt-get install quota quotatool

JohnSmith · #3 21st June 2006, 12:23

Yes, I do exact as in the Howto discribed
apt-get install quota quotatool

I ask Hosteurope about their "usual" preconfiguration and I found the following:
zgrep -i CONFIG_QUOTA /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_QUOTA is not set
CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y

I wonder that the Quota Support seems to be not in the usual setup...
What can I do to activate it, do I realy have to compile a new kernel or can I fix it by changing something inside a conf-file?

Beside: till, I read so many answers of you, do you never sleep or do you have build up some clones

Thanks for so much help

OK, I build a new kernel
http://www.debian.org/releases/stabl...h08s05.html.en
and activate Quotas.

I reboot with the new Kernel and same as before:
>quotaon -avug
quotaon: using //quota.group on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented
quotaon: using //quota.user on /dev/sda3 [/]: Function not implemented

zgrep -i CONFIG_QUOTA /proc/config.gz
# CONFIG_QUOTA is not set
CONFIG_QUOTACTL=y

I have never had problems with quotas but this time...
I do not know what to try next, anybody out there with an idea?

Is it a virtual server, or a "real" one?

JohnSmith · #6 22nd June 2006, 09:13

It's a real one (Hosteurope HE Server L), Dell Intel P4 2,8, 80GB SATA (Debian shows them as SCSI? -> sda3)

I've found out that the Kernel config at /boot has quota set to yes but the running Kernel (/proc/config.gz) shows quota not set...?

The solution finaly was simple...

A Hosteurope coworker told me that they think it is normal to do not install a Kernel wich supports quotas...
The real problem, I think is the special Hardware from Dell, wich need a couple of special drivers.
They told me that the change of the Kernel, wich I can't do by myself because of the Dell drivers I could not find (they are only available for Dell customers, I think), will produce costs. After some phonecalls they do it without computation...
Now everything works and my opinion about Dell is still the same...
Thanks everybody for the Help
