Description of Problem: filesystem quotas don't seem to be working on LVM logical volume filesystems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-smp-2.4.18-17.8.0 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a ext3 filesystem on LVM logical volume 2. mount filesystem with user and group quota 3. /sbin/quotacheck -v -F vfsv0 /home Actual Results: quotacheck: Cannot get quotafile name for /dev/Volume00/LogVol03 Expected Results: quotacheck: Scanning /dev/hda7 [/home] done quotacheck: Checked 22 directories and 58 files aquota.user should be created. Additional Information:
after creating the quota files with touch (aquota.{user|group}) the quotacheck command didn't give the 'Cannot get quotafile name' message as before but when booting the system i still got the following error messages even though the quota files exist: Enabling local filesystem quotas: quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /home [/dev/Volume00/LogVol03] to turn quotas on/off. quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /home [/dev/Volume00/LogVol03] to turn quotas on/off. quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /var [/dev/Volume00/LogVol01] to turn quotas on/off. quotaon: Cannot find quota file on /var [/dev/Volume00/LogVol01] to turn quotas on/off. this got fixed with running '/sbin/quotacheck -ug <fs>' on both filesystems.
