We have a Sun4/280 (Sunos4.0) gateway file server, which services 11 Sun3 discless clients. I use quotation for one filesystem home/`server'. (/dev/xy0h 533461 240375 239739 50% /home/duttnph) After booting our server, I noticed the following: - The file system quota consistency checker (quotacheck) does'nt work. - quota is not turned on (quotaon). From the manual I read: quotacheck is normally run at boot time from the /etc/rc.local file, see rc(8), before enabling disk quotas with quotaon(8). However, not in the /etc/rc.local file, but in the /etc/rc file I find the following about quota: mount -at 4.2 >/dev/console 2>&1 (echo -n 'checking quotas: ') >/dev/console quotacheck -a -p >/dev/console 2>&1 (echo 'done.') >/dev/console quotaon -a Of course, on the file system root (/home/duttnph) there is a quotas file edited with edquota. Because the quota does'nt work for that particular file system, after booting, I do manual on the server, via tty/pty: - quotacheck -v /home/duttnph - quotaon -v /home/duttnph Then finally, the quota for the filesystem (home/`server') works. more /etc/mtab /dev/xy0a / 4.2 rw,nosuid 1 1 /dev/xy0g /usr 4.2 rw 1 2 /dev/xy0f /export/exec/sun3 4.2 rw,nosuid 1 7 /dev/xy1e /export/swap 4.2 rw,nosuid 1 6 /dev/xy1d /export/root 4.2 rw,nosuid 1 5 /dev/xy0h /home/duttnph 4.2 rw,quota 1 4 <------ /dev/xy1b /home/duttnph/ph/images 4.2 rw 1 10 /dev/xy0e /home/duttnph/ph/local 4.2 rw 1 9 /dev/xy1a /home/duttnph/backup 4.2 rw 1 8 /dev/xy0d /var 4.2 rw 1 3 dutrun:/var/spool/news /var/spool/news nfs ro,soft 0 0 dutrun:/usr/lib/news /usr/lib/news/dutrun nfs ro,soft 0 0 Is there any body who knows why quotacheck and quotaon does'nt work after the server is booted ??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wouter Smaal (System Manager) | tnhrwou@duttnph.UUCP Simulation of Systems Group | mcvax!hp4nl!dutrun!duttnph!tnhrwou Department of Applied Physics | voice 31 - (0)15 - 781416 Fax 783251 Delft University of Technology The Netherlands ------------------------------------------------------------------------
