Now we must initialize the files <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.user</TT
|
|
> and <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.group</TT
|
|
> in the root directory of the file system in order to not receive an error messages about quota
|
|
during the reboot of our server.
|
|
|
|
To initialize <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.user</TT
|
|
> and/or <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.group</TT
|
|
> files, use the following commands:
|
|

|
|
</PRE
|
|
></TD

|

The steps above are necessary just to initialize the files <TT

CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.user</TT
|
|
> and/or <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.group</TT
|
|
>; the command <B
|
|
CLASS="command"
|
|
>edquota</B
|
|
> -u will edit
|
|
the quota for the user wahib and -g will edit the quota for the group wahib. Note that you must edit an existing <SPAN
|
|
CLASS="acronym"
|
|
>UID/GID</SPAN
|
|
> on your system to initialize the files successfully.

After you have finished setting the appropriate options for your quota program in the <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/fstab</TT
|
|
> file, and created and initialized the <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|

|
|
>,
|
|
and/or <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>quota.group</TT
|
|
> files, you must reboot the system for the changes you have made in the <TT
|
|
CLASS="filename"
|
|
>/etc/fstab</TT
|
|
> file and/or the
|
|
files <TT

|
|
CLASS="filename"

To reboot your system, use the following command:
