Quota feature on a mailserver (debian lenny)

[voltron81]

Hi to everybody. I've created a local mailserver on a debian lenny machine.
I would like to implement quota for my email users.
I tried following this how-to: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-set...n-debian-lenny
but I've this error:

mailserver:/# quotacheck -avugm
quotacheck: WARNING -  Quotafile //aquota.user was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...
quotacheck: WARNING -  Quotafile //aquota.group was probably truncated. Cannot save quota settings...
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/hdc2 [/] quotacheck: error (2133571361) while starting inode scan

I then tried the part concerning to quota of this how-to http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...-ispconfig3-p4 that basically is the same but using not a Journaled Quota, but no lucky.

Am I wrong in something?
Thanks
Michele

What's in /etc/fstab?

Hi Falko,
the same to me! I tried the "Installing A Multiserver Setup With Dedicated ...ISPCONFIG3".

Kernel: Lenny 2.6.26-2-686-bigmem

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /var/log ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb1 /var/www ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

-> # mount -o remount /
-> # quotacheck -avugm

quotacheck: Your kernel probably supports journaled quota but you are not using it. Consider switching to journaled quota to avoid running quotacheck after an unclean shutdown.

I also did:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda2 / ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
/dev/sdc1 /var/log ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdb1 /var/www ext3 errors=remount-ro,usrquota,grpquota 0 2
/dev/sda1 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

-> # mount -o remount /
-> # mount -o remount /var/www
-> # quotacheck -avugm
and got the message:

quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint /var/www so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.

Any idea?
