Smile quota enabling on boot failure

Hi,

i've enabled quotas for a user on my fedora 10 distro but whenever i reboot the machine the boot.log
contains the following message :

"Enabling local filesystem quotas: [FAILED]"

so, after every startup i have to login as root and issue the quotaon -auv command to reenable quotas.
what causes this failure on startup ? is there a workaround to solve this problem ?


Thank you.


Additional information

my /etc/fstab file contents :

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1
UUID=6ced7c8a-bc65-40ac-ada4-3cf25882dee9 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0





PS

there is plenty of free space on the root partition that quotas are enabled.

Smile quota enabling on boot failure

Hi,

at last i've found the solution at the following url :
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/w...ge_with_Quotas

shortly speaking, the trick is that the quota configuration must be done logged in in single user mode otherwise even if everything is set up correctly the system at startup is unable to enable quotas.

Bye.
