I noticed, on running ` locate quota` , that these lines appear in my output /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-4-386/kernel/fs/quota_v1.ko /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-4-386/kernel/fs/quota_v2.ko I'm thinking this means quotas are supported by modules in this kernel, and thus a `modprobe quota* ` or similar would suffice, rather than a kernel recompile. Is this correct? Just thinking this could save Eve and others a *lot* of time... In Debian, I assume after using the modprobe command the module name could simply be put in /etc/modules to make loading persistent across reboots. ( Other distros like the Redhat variants would do this differently, I suppose) apt-get install quota would then install what's necessary for the quota command...
