I am trying to set disk quotas.  I know this has been covered before.  I
have created the
following entry in my fstab file:

    /dev/sd1e      /home2          ufs     rw,quota        0       5

I have edited the user quotas using 'edquota user'.  When I exit the
file, it says it
has created a TMP file (which I can't find on the file system).  The
'quotas' file
in the user directory is empty.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for any advice.

Betty
