Title: quota files corrupt [SOLVED]
Post by: egerards on October 09, 2006, 03:31:31 PM

On the SME server of a friend it seems that the quota files are corrupt ('quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.').

I tried to fix them the following way:

Quote

[root@linux01 ~]# quotaoff /dev/mapper/main-root
[root@linux01 ~]# quotacheck -cguvm /
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/mapper/main-root [/] done
quotacheck: Checked 15888 directories and 117109 files
[root@linux01 ~]# quotaon /dev/mapper/main-root
[root@linux01 ~]# quota -u rene
quota: Quota file not found or has wrong format.
Disk quotas for user rene (uid 5012): none

When I check /aquota.group and /aquota.user I can see that the quota files were actually regenerated, nevertheless quota still doesn't work correctly.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I think that removing the quota files and rebooting should be sufficient.
