It's the "-b" flag for "backup /aquota.user" that generates the problem. Various error messages depending on whether the aquota.user.new file exists include "Operation not permitted". This is not an SELinux error, SELinux is disabled. /aquota.user is rw root. this got fixed when this was released: Name : kernel Version : 2.6.13 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1.1526_FC4 Build Date: Wed Sep 28 20:05:24 2005 but then it got broken again when this was released: Name : kernel Version : 2.6.14 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1.1644_FC4 Build Date: Sun Nov 27 03:53:57 2005 Same problem for me. No occurance of bug on RHEL4 and FC5, using the latest quota tools (v3.13) |
