ok, thanks a lot. turning on the quota from within the vserver is now working,
after adding CAP_QUOTACTL to the conf.
now there's another problem. am I just too stupid or is it a bug? ;)
I ran quotacheck within the vserver and set the quota for a user.
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/hdv1 41 10 500 10 0 0
after turning the quota on with "quotaon -auvg" in the vserver, edquota for that
user looks like this:
Filesystem blocks soft hard inodes soft hard
/dev/hdv1 0 0 0 0 0 0
at the same time "repquota -auvg" shows the following for that user:
quota_user +- 41 10 500 5days 10 0 0
turning off the quota with "quotaoff -auvg" brings back the old values in
edquota, just like before quota was turned on in the vserver.
any idea?
my hostsystem setup:
linux-2.4.20-ctx17
vquota patch
quota-tools-3.08
vquota-tools-0.12
within the vserver:
quota-tools 3.04 debian package
also tested quota-tools 3.08
