xfs_quota: cannot set limits.Why ?

[Frank Peng]

Dear sir,

linux-nr79:~ # cat /etc/issue
Welcome to openSUSE 11.1 - Kernel \r (\l).

linux-nr79:/boot # cat config-2.6.27.7-9-default | grep XFS
CONFIG_XFS_FS=m
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y
CONFIG_XFS_DMAPI=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_RT=y
# CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_VXFS_FS=m

linux-nr79:~ # mount /dev/sdc1 /xfs
linux-nr79:~ # mount -o remount,usrquota,grpquota /xfs

linux-nr79:~ # mount
/dev/sda2 on / type ext3 (rw,acl,user_xattr)
/proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)

securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
/dev/sdc2 on /ext3 type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota)

linux-nr79:~ # xfs_quota -x -c 'limit bsoft=5m bhard=6m user01' /xfs
xfs_quota: cannot set limits: Function not implemented

Why cannot set limits? Any idea how I can use xfs quota? 
Thanks.


Best Regards,
Frank

Hi Frank!
The problem is that you cannot set usrquota and grpquota via a remount command. You must take care that these flags are set on the very first mount of the filesystem. Otherwise they are silently ignored and quotas are not enforced at all.

hth,
Michael
