Quota not working

[mpg198]

I am trying to set quotas and when I use edquota and enter the limits, when I use repquota they don't show up. When I use edquota again they are still there. Is there something I have to do to apply them?

Did you change the mount option?

You mean in /etc/fstab? Yes I did.

Could you try and follow the howto, I posted above?
Note, that it says usrjquota instead of usrquota. Same for group.

Also, a remount of the partitions with the new options might be needed. (after checking for errors and creating those quota files.

Still not working

[rituraj.goswami]

you have to switch on the quota using the quotaon command.

I'm pretty sure I did, I have a guide here I am following and it's still not workinh.

I just started up and there is an exclaimation point in a triangle for boot messages and it says

Enalbing local filesystem quotas:                      [FAILED]

/var/logs/messages says something about "AVC Denied" now that I inspect further.

I disabled SE Linux and that icon doesn't appear but it's still not working.

I think I got it working. Do I have to make files using a the user account(s) that have quotas set on the filesystem where the quotas are set? Because I wasn't doing that before, I didn't plan on making files until the quotas were working.
