[Linux] Quota ?

[Chris 'Chipper' Chiapusio]

have you modified your /etc/fstab to mount with user or group quotas?

/dev/sda2               /                       ext2    defaults        1
1
/dev/sda1               /boot                   ext2    defaults        1
2
/dev/sdb1               /usr                    ext2    defaults        1
2
/dev/sdb2               /var                    ext2    defaults        1
2
/dev/sdd1               /home                   ext2    usrquota        1
2
