Description Tibor SANDOR 2001-05-11 03:05:23 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Terminal)

Description of problem:
1. quotacheck does not creates aquota.user or aquota.group files.
(freshly installed system with only one partition: /)
2. quotacheck does not repair corrupted aquota files.




How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
(aquota.user is created this way:
touch quota.user
convertquota /
)

1. rm aquota.user
2. quotacheck -u /

Step 2. can be replaced with reset button.
(After unclean shutdown quotacheck should run from /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit)


Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  aquota.user file should be created.

Comment 1 Ward D'Hooghe 2001-05-15 13:13:26 EDT 
Try this before you turn on quota: 
convertquota -ug /
Comment 2 Tibor SANDOR 2001-05-16 04:05:50 EDT 
man quotacheck says:

If a file(aquota.user and/or aquota.group) is not present, quotacheck will 
create it.

quotacheck is normally run at boot time as an init script located 
in /etc/init.d before enabling disk quotas with quotaon.

Either the man page is incorrect or quotacheck does not do its job.

My opinion is: if something corrupts aquota files (eg.: I deleted them)
quotacheck should recreate or correct them without using convertquota, or any 
other commands.

convertquota is responsible for upgrading quota files, but why should I use for 
a newly installed system.

/etc/rc.d/sysinit runs convertquota if quota.user or quota.group exists, but
if not, then quotacheck does not do anything because there will be no aquota 
files.

Comment 6 Speedy 2001-09-12 06:49:22 EDT 
* repquota -ua segfaults after the output of the data
* repquota doesn't seem to print out correct values, because e.g. deleting
files does not change the numbers showed with repquota
Comment 7 Seth Vidal 2001-12-09 22:59:02 EST 
I think this bug is still active for rh 7.2 systems

I cannot get quotas on a brand new system to work correctly.

they won't turn on and they won't let me generate new files.
Comment 8 Seth Vidal 2001-12-09 23:37:44 EST 
This is definitely still happening on quota 3.01pre9-3 on 7.2

I'm reopening it.
Comment 9 Seth Vidal 2001-12-09 23:45:28 EST 
oops, I'd like to reopen it - but I can't. B/c I didn't file it originally.

could we reopen this one? please?

thanks
Comment 10 Seth Vidal 2001-12-09 23:50:20 EST 
ok, I'll be quiet, I promise, it is working correctly I was just misreading.

just ignore my last 4 comments.

ugh.

sorry
Comment 11 Peter Abeles 2002-12-29 00:03:47 EST 
I seem to be experiencing the exact same bug in Redhat 8.0  the version of quota
that I am using is quota-3.06-5.

The system I am using was a fresh install of 8.0 with the only one file system
(also /).
Comment 12 Mark Adams 2003-07-14 16:12:31 EDT 
I'm pretty sure that they mean that you can use quotacheck to create the quota 
file, not that it will automatically be created when quotacheck is run after a 
reboot (from init). You will typically need to use the "-c" parameter to create 
the quota file, which is not done in the init file.
