- Howdy! We've finally got around to setting up disk quotas on our network of
- Apollos, all of which are now at SR10.4. I'm presently sitting at a 425e with
- a 1Gb external SCSI disk. When we INVOLed the disk, we performed option 12 to
- set up the quota table. Now, when I try to run edquota, it fails. According
- to /bin/df our filesystem is /dev/wn128a:
-
- [zeta]_95 ~ % df
- Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
- /dev/wn128a 1012668 406636 606032 40% //zeta
-
- According the manual, "edquota /dev/wn128a -l" should list the current quota
- table:
-
- [zeta_root]_32 / % edquota /dev/wn128a -l
- User quota-limit currently-used
- ---- ----------- --------------
- edquota: No such file or directory
-
- Of course, /dev/wn128a does not exist. Yet, the machine boots fine and works
- wonderfully. At least it appears to. The file system is listed as mounted in
- /etc/mtab despite the non-existence of /dev/wn128a.
-
- What do I have to do to get the quotas to work? I tried turning quota checking
- on first using quotaon, but that didn't help. I tried using mknod to create
- /dev/wn128a (and /dev/rwn128a) but to no avail.
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- John Marley.
