Topic: Integrate a RAID System in a running sme server system

[Brenno]

Reinhold, just to clarify, I wasn't told that you couldn't have quotas on multiple filesystems, just that SME didn't support it.  Meaning, the server-manager panel would only check the quotas on the root filesystem, not filesystems mounted after OS installation.  It's listed in the bugtracker at: http://no.longer.valid/mantis/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0000125

While this does not mean that you can't have the quota working on additional filesystems, it just meant that, for newbies like me, it wasn't easy to set up.  I scoured the forums for help on this issue before posting to the bug tracker and found none.

For a refresher of my previous posts on this topic, hit:

Oddly enough, it was you and I which filled that thread  I ended up enforcing quotas the old fashioned way - emailing users to warn them of excessive file accumulation.

Hi Reinhold

You said

P.P.S.: Don't forget to give lilo a 2nd (3rd) boottrack if you want to recover from bootfailures easily...

Would be great if you wrote this up into a little howto and posted back to the thread.

TIA

I've replied to that old thread of yours where it should have been (-sry but RL often gets in the way)
(we are way into vandalizing tobiasb's thread   )


@smeghead
If you can live with a short answer here it is:
lilo -v

You need to have one of your primary partitions marked "active". This can be done most easily using fdisk.
Running /sbin/lilo from Linux should puts LILO back into the currently active partition.  -HTH- (RL's here)
