    Default Stupid Damn Quota\'s :/

    Hi all,

    I just updated my server from the default RH7.1 kernal to the newest kernal, but I still cannot get quota\'s to work.

    Quotacheck gives me this
    [quote:65303febdf]
    root@insomnia [/etc]# /sbin/quotacheck -av
    quotacheck: Can\'t find filesystem to check or filesystem not mounted with quota option.
    [/quote:65303febdf]

    /scripts/initquotas gives this
    [quote:65303febdf]
    root@insomnia [/etc]# /scripts/initquotas
    Quotas are now on
    Using new and old quota support
    [/quote:65303febdf]

    /scripts/fixquotas gives this
    [quote:65303febdf]
    root@insomnia [/etc]# /scripts/fixquotas
    Quotas are now on
    Using new and old quota support
    No filesystems with quota detected.
    Resetting quota for theschu to 20 Meg....Done

    /etc/fstab is this (and I was setup with everything mounted as / instead of /home /var etc :/)
    [quote:65303febdf]
    LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
    LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
    /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
    none /proc proc defaults 0 0
    none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
    /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
    [/quote:65303febdf]

    Any ideas?

    Quotas will never work unless you have a seperate /home partition. Your paritioning scheme is not support. Whoever installed your cpanel should have notified you of this before the install..

    Default

    When I initially ordered it, I did ask for it to be set up with each partition for
    /etc
    /home
    /var
    /usr
    etc
    but they didn\'t
    then when I asked them why not, they said it was a non-standard install and wanted $180 an hour :/
