Hey there,
I have recently installed NetBSD-0.9 on a 386DX-40 based PC. My
problem is that I can't seem to get the quotas set up properly.
I use the following steps to set up the quotas:
1) I create the quota.user and quota.group files using
touch in /usr my primary (in fact only major) partition
2) I then run edquota to setup the quotas. The following
line is displayed:
Quotas for <username>:
I know that I need to set up hard and soft limits for
<username>, but I have no clue as to the syntax. I
have tried to use spaces to separate soft and hard limits,
commas, colons, but none of them register anything in any
of the quota.* files. The quota -v also shoes nothing for
<username>.
If anyone out there has a solution to this problem, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Maz
