Hi,
There are about 9 people on this mailing list now. Thanks for joining.
I just want to mention two things I found this weekend while studying with the
Jang book.
1. The Jang book, and other online docs, imply that if you simply add the quota
parameters in /etc/fstab and reboot, the quota will be turned on for that
filesystem.
# cat fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3
defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1
# reboot
Jang is correct that /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit has quotacheck and quotaon to turn it
on during boot. But it doesn't work. A workaround is to simply hardcode the
quotacheck in the area where it does quotaon:
if [ -x /sbin/quotaon ]; then
/sbin/quotacheck -cug /
action $"Enabling local filesystem quotas: " /sbin/quotaon -aug
fi
This is probably related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=249003 .
This is no big deal, because you can either reboot, or just mount -o remount /
; quotacheck -cugm / ; quotaon / . I don't know if remounting a live / root
filesystem is a good idea on a real production system.
2. The Jang book talks about mounting CIFS filesystems. The mount.cifs has a
"-o guest" option, e.g. "mount.cifs //linux1/pub /mnt -o guest". This is not
like a user or username option where passwords are involved. But it might fail
if that's all you know.
Anyways, the other option that you use with "-o guest" is mentioned here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=423971
If anyone has anything to add, please feel free to chime in. I'm pretty new to
Linux so if I'm confused about anything, let me know. Thanks!
Brendan
