Well.. I compiled them into the kernel - ok. I set up quotas for users - ok. I turned it all on in /etc/fstab - ok. sometimes the quota works, sometimes it didn't.. one user managed to go 24 meg over their hard limit without a problem! (and repquota showed them as only using 968k).. If I however do a quotacheck -a, everything is updated and ok.. Does this mean I have to run quotacheck in a cron job?? Oh, and do I have to recompile all my binaries to make them work with the quota system?? Thanks all in advance.. Regards, Paul Reece.
