Topic: Quota not working after adding extra hard drive.

[bjoyce]

Hi,
I have followed the the howto on adding an extra hard drive http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/mblotwijk/HowToGuides/AddExtraHardDisk.htm and everything seems to be ok except for two things.

1) quota is not working

2) SME7admin is not seeing the new hard drive (I probably should put this second problem in the contribs section of the forum but thought the 2 problems could be related).

More detail:
/etc/fstab is as follows;

The quotas are not counting the information in /mnt/home
and an error occurs with quota test in the howto.

[root@abel files]# quotacheck -vugc /dev/sdb1
quotacheck: Quota for users is enabled on mountpoint /mnt/home so quotacheck might damage the file.
Please turn quotas off or use -f to force checking.

Hope someone can help.

Hello Friends,

first i will thank all the SME-Server Developers for building an usual server for free.

I have the same problem here with the quota on an ext3 added HDD. Quota-files are ok. Fstab okay. But the servermanager doesn´t recognize files from users, which are on an seperate added ext3 HDD- linked as an ibay.

Perhaps any ideas. Searching the forum don´t help me.....

Regarding the quota not working, I had a similar problem with a 6.0 install, and it boiled down to where I had mounted the drive in the filesystem since the quotas only work to a certain level. See http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=24391.0 for details.

I don't know if this still applies to 7.x or you specifically, but it might help.
