There is a 3rd method which will work on live systems: edit the fstab, and run mount with remount option. # mount | grep hda2 /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw) # mount -o remount,usrquota /dev/hda2 # mount | grep hda2 /dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw,usrquota) # carry on as per documentation. Again this is in reference to section "6.1.2. Remounting the File Systems".
