Hi all,

I am trying to enable quotas for the first time in our Alpha Server but so
far when I checking for the quota of an account X using checkquota I am
only getting this result...

X not found or not properly enabled for quotas in /etc/fstab

I have performed all the steps given in Digitals Documentation that is to..

1 ensured that option QUOTA exists at /sys/conf
2 edited fstab so that it now reads for the fs of interest:

/dev/vol/rootdg/vol01 /data_disk1 ufs rw,userquota,groupquota 1 4
3 used quotacheck to create the quotafile
4 used edquota X to input the values
5. turned quotaon
6 used /usr/sbin/rcmgr set QUOTA_CONFIG yes to ensure that when the system
boots it will check for quottas...

Can somebody please tell me what have I done wrong? Is the fstab entry
wrong?

Also how can I restrict the quota to certain subdirectories within the same
filesystem? ie... assume that the same fs contains the email of a user and
his/her webspace.. I would like to leave his email space with no
restriction whatsover but have quottas in the web directory

Thanking you in advance....
