Topic: Second Harddrive Problem

[tgraham]

I followed the extra hard disk howto but I am still getting the following error:

mount: mount point 1 does not exist

I have an 80G disk I am trying to mount at:
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/

My fstab:

LABEL:/     /           ext3    usrquota,grpquota 1 2
LABEL:/boot /boot       ext3    defaults          0 0
none        /dev/pts    devpts  sid=5,mode=620    0 0
/dev/cdrom  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660 noauto,owner,ro   0 0
/dev/fd0    /mnt/floppy auto    noauto,owner      0 0
none        /proc       proc    defaults          0 0
none        /dev/shm    tmpfs   defaults          0 0
/dev/hda2   swap        swap    defaults          0 0
/dev/hdb1   /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary ext3 usrqouta,grpquota  1 2

It does mount at the desired place (df -T shows this) but quotas are not activated. Is this error associated with quotas somehow?

Hi Terry
What happened when you activated the quota with
quotacheck -vugc /dev/hdb1
per step 6? Did you get any error messages?

Is your disk a slave on IDE 1? This prohibits subsequent reads and writes across disks, perhaps this is messing up quotas.

some questions to help you:
- is your new harddisk formatted with ext3?
- is there a directory called ....Primary?
- is ...Primary a symbolic link?
- do you have the permissions to mount a drive to ...Primary?
- did you try to mount your drive to another directory (mountpoint)?
- did you try to mount it with default parameters (no quota)?

cheers

Looks like a spelling error to me.

i don't see a misspelling.
please tell us where you found it.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this but I was
busy this afternoon. When I run
"quotacheck -vugc /dev/hdb1" I get the following error:

quotacheck: Can't find filesystem to check or filesystem
not mounted with quota option

I know the disk is mounted becauce I can go to the dir
and see the files and df -T tells me that it is mounted
where I want it to be. This is why I think it is a
quota problem.

The disk is physically mounted as the slave on the
primary IDE channel to answer the other question.

what happens if you manualy mount the disk like it is written in the fstab?
and then do a quotacheck?

The disk mounts fine but quota is not turned on.
Just curious, but what should be in my mtab file?

/dev/hdb1 /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary ext3 usrqouta,grpquota 1 2

Look closely

-> usrqouta

/dev/hdb1   /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary ext3 usrqouta,grpquota  1 2

Just being curious. Primary is your default website, so why do you need quota turned on for this disk?
