We have a Sun4/280 (Sunos4.0) gateway file server, who's serves 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:
- De 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

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 ???

Declare the file systems with option 'quota', e.g.: /etc/fstab: /dev/xy0a / 4.2 rw,nosuid 1 1 /dev/xy0g /usr 4.2 rw 1 2 /dev/rf2g /pooh-2g 4.2 rw,quota 1 3 We notice 'mount' complaining about the unknown 'quota' option but that's probably just a bug. As far as I know, 'quotaon' and 'quotacheck' won't consider filesystems without the 'quota' option, so it is quite understandable why they don't do anything during boot. -- Juergen Wagner gandalf@csli.stanford.edu wagner@arisia.xerox.com
