need help with disk quotas

[vigyaspeaks]

Hi
i need to implement disk quotas on RHEL4. i have gone through tutorials online. as mentioned, i first made a file system entry in /etc/fstab with usrquota and grpquota options.
then i run

quotacheck -cug

this creates the quota files needed.

then i also do

quotacheck -a

after turning quotas off for the file systems because that is what it warns me for.

then i create quotas for a specific user through

edquota <username>

i give the soft and hard limits for inodes.

now when i turn quotas on through

quotaon

and then check quotas for users

quota <username>

, it shows no quotas for this user.
also when you check this by creating files, no disk quota has been implemented.

i also tried to first create an image or disk whatever, through

dd if=/dev/zero of="path for dick" count="no of blocks"

then i format this as ext3, mount it, make an entry in fstab and repeat the above steps.

still the disk quota just wont work.

i urgently need to implement disk quotas. can anyone please tell me what i am missing..??

think i've found your problem..
the quota <user> command shows quota is none right?

well.. su to that user and creat several files on the disk you've set quota.
then if you run the previous command again, you may get what you want..
