Summary: Problem getting quota;s to work on FreeBSD
Keywords: quota problem bsd


Hi,

As far as I know for installing quotas on a FreeBSD system, I have to
recompile the kernel, with options QUOTA in the config file. Then
edquota for groups and users, quotaon /dev/sd0a (e.g.) and that should
be enough.

The problem is that after compiling the kernel with the QUOTA option on,
edquota says that quotas isn't compiled into the kernel, and quotaon
refuses too. Since I'm pretty sure I did compile it into the kernel,
can there be something alse I'm missing ?

Has anyone had experience with installing quotas on FreeBSD ? Please
let him or her email me.
