Quota on Webmin

[youradds]

Hi.I'm using version 0.91 of WebMin. The install went ok, and the server is now working fine, except, i cant get the quote thing to work1 It does have the quota thing installed, but i just cant get it to work

When i try and manage the quotas it says "No local filesystems can support quotas". Does anyone have any ideas on what i need to do to get this to work? Its quite a major part of the use for the server, as im going to be having at least 2 other people on it, which both need to have limits on (and possibly more when i upgrade to a faster server). The info on the module i have installed is;

Description The quota package contains system administration tools for monitoringand limiting users' and or groups' disk usage, per filesystem.Install quota if you want to monitor and/or limit user/group diskusage. Package quota Class System Environment/Base Version 3.00 Vendor Red Hat, Inc. Architecture i386 Installed 26/Dec/2001 10:14


Thanks

Hi,



Firstly, you have to enable quotas for one or more filesystems. You can also do this through webmin but not in 'disk quotas'. Instead, go into 'Disk and Network Filesystems' then choose a partition you want to enable quotas on - click on the highlighted 'mounted as' entry and then page down to 'Advanced Mount options' and choose something under 'use quotas?'. that should do the setup for you (it needs entries in /etc/fstab and control files on the partition) so that the 'Disk Quotas' function in webmin will then work !

Wahoo! Worked like a charm. Thanks, you just saved me about 15 hours of reading and messing up the server
