Topic: Extra hdd question (yes, I did use search!)

Oops, yeah that comma shouldn't be there. It isn't in the fstab file

The error was something like "couldn't find quotafile on /dev/hde1/" or something, the error repeated twice when I entered it, and twice each boot...

So quotacheck just allows the server to tell windows how much space is left? (just curious)

type "fdisk /dev/hdd" and then press "p" to get your partition table. Does that match the capacity and geometry of your harddisk?

I guess you didn't assign any user quota in the server-manager.

Quota will allow you to limit the disk space individual users can use on your system. Assign a quotum of 500MB to user clint and you won't be able to store more than that on your big disk.

Ok, thanks. I have no need for quota then. It is mostly me loading up the fileserver, most everyone else will just be reading files off it/doing minor additions.

Thanks again, that guide has been very helpful! I did get all 9.5gb of Linux distros copied over to the server, so that must mean that it isn't using the 9.1gb drive for my file storage

Now, to get the users to actualy use the server...

You have to run quotacheck with the -c option to create the quota files on the new fs.
This finally worked for me, I got the quotas working on the new hard drive and corresp. mount point.
