Need Quota Support for Reiserfs Partition

Need Quota Support for Reiserfs Partition

[Bobby Hitt]

Hello,

I'm using Slackware Linux with kernel version 2.6.0-test11. All of my
partitions are Rieserfs. I now have a need to use quotas on a partition, but
according to the help screen using "make menuconfig" quotas are only
available under the ext2 file systems. Is there a patch to allow quotas
under rieserfs? One of my searches said that Reiserfs and quotas were
supported under 2.6.0, but when I try and mount the partition with this line
in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hde2 /downloads reiserfs defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 2

I get this error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde2,
       or too many mounted file systems


If I take the usrquota,grpquota off, the mount works fine.

TIA,

Bobby

  AFAIK ReiserFS doesn't support quotas in 2.6 kernel. Chris Mason
<mason@suse.com> maintains needed patches for 2.4 and is working on
porting them to 2.6 but they are not yet ported.

Jan,

do you know if quotas are working with ext3 FS ?
I'm using kernel 2.6.0test9 and quota-3.09-1
and I  can't turn them on,
quotaon command returns:
quotaon: using /users/aquota.user on /dev/sdc2 [/users]: No such process
quotaon: Quota format not supported in kernel.
...
many thanks,

Yes, they work, I have just tested it over a LV block-device.

kernel version 2.6.0-test10-mm1 and 3.09-3 (Debian Sid) here.

Did you mount the filesystem with "-o usrquota,grpquota" ?. Do you
compiled support for generic quotas and for the quota version (V2) you
seem to be using (module quota_v2) ?.
