Enable Quota on CentOS 6

Roberto Nunez

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
I find a problem with CentOS 6.2-6.3 because I can not enable quotas.

I read http://kb.parallels.com/en/768/, but it doesnt work.

I read http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/D...h-disk-quotas.html#s1-disk-quotas-configuring AND
https://access.redhat.com/knowledge...x/6/html-single/Storage_Administration_Guide/

My /etc/fstab is:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root / ext4 defaults,usrquota 1 1
UUID=dae3674a-f8bf-41a8-944e-a56bc8572bd3 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_swap swap swap defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc

[root@173 /]$ mount | grep quota
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw,usrquota)

[root@173 /]$ quotaon /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
quotaon: cannot find //quota.user on /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root [/]
[root@173 /]$
[root@173 /]$ quotaon /
quotaon: Cannot find quota file on / [/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root] to turn quotas on/off.

Can someone help me?
