src/mount.c:mount_add_default_dependencies() pulls quotacheck.service and quotaon.service if the mount options contain "usrquota" or "grpquota". Hmm, systemd only knows about "usrquota" and "grpquota". You appear to be using "quota" instead. We could definitely add support for that switch too, but I can't find any documentation for that. Can you point me to some? (In reply to comment #0) > *) Actually, the entries in for the services quota{check,on}.service in > /lib/systemd/system, are not really correct, as they check/enable > with flag 'a' all _automatically mounted_ FSs; but what about FS that are > mounted only on demand through systemd.automount? Well quota is generally incompatible with dynamically mounted file systems, since the quota checker runs when the fs is already mounted and we cannot make sure that no other app accesses the fs while doing so -- except if we run this at boot. But when apps modify the fs while the checker is still running the gathered checker information will be necessarily out of date. btrfs does quota without any quota checkers, things will work fine there without any issues. As to comment #2: I don't know of any authoritative source but 'quota' has been an alias for 'usrquota' for a long time. It might be deprecated though. Apart from 'usrquota' and 'grpquota' also the journaled versions 'usrjquota' and 'grpjquota'. For these 'quotacheck' does not to be run, but 'quotaon' does. BTW: If I remember well, I tried with 'usrquota' iso 'quota' and systemd reacted in exactly the same way: not running quotaon. As to comment #3: There is indeed a window-of-opportunity to do things between the mounting of a fs en the 'quotaon'. It would be more logical of these operations could be done atomically; but ext4 will be around for a long time I guess. So why not try and not break the quota system unnecessarily, i.e. 'quotacheck' (if need be) and 'quotaon' asap after mount? systemd git will now also look for "quota" in addition to "usrquota" and "grpquota". > BTW: If I remember well, I tried with 'usrquota' iso 'quota' and systemd > reacted in exactly the same way: not running quotaon. Please retry and file a separate bug about that. > As to comment #3: > > There is indeed a window-of-opportunity to do things between the mounting of a > fs en the 'quotaon'.

Traditionally quotacheck was run once at boot up for everything that was mounted at boot. And that's exactly what we do now too. Automatic quota checks for hotplug stuff never existed and we won't add it either. Replacing broken behaviour by behaviour that is just broken in a different way doesn't really help much I'd say. systemd-36-2.fc16 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 16. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/systemd-36-2.fc16 Package systemd-36-2.fc16: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 16 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Description of problem: Apparently, there is nothing working in Fedora 15's systemd to run quotacheck /quotaon on filesystems that are quota-enabled in /etc/fstab. There is apparently a quotacheck.service and a quotaon.service but they are not run by default, and you cannot enable them, (returns 'Unit files contain no applicable installation information. Ignoring.') Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-26-9.fc15.x86_64 quota-4.00-0.14.pre1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add ',quota' to a local FS's flags in /etc/fstab 2. Run once 'quotacheck -c' to generate the quotafiles. 3. Reboot; and see with 'quotaon -pa' that quota are NOT activated (and not checked neither) Actual results: Quota not activated (nor checked) Expected results: Fedora 14 behavior: quota enabled 'automatically'. (Or, if that is impossible/unwanted, documentation that says it needs to be done manually in e.g. /etc/rc.local) Additional info: *) Poor man's workaround is e.g. adding in /etc/rc.local: systemctl start quotacheck.service quotaon.service *) Actually, the entries in for the services quota{check,on}.service in /lib/systemd/system, are not really correct, as they check/enable with flag 'a' all _automatically mounted_ FSs; but what about FS that are mounted only on demand through systemd.automount?
