Subject: quotaon -guav on 2.4.1-ac15

Hi,

I don't recall seeing this problem in 2.4.0...

quotaon: using /home/vhosts/b/quota.user on /dev/sda3: Invalid argument
quotaon: using /home/vhosts/a/quota.user on /dev/sdb1: Invalid argument

Here's my ver_linux:

Linux omega 2.4.1-ac15 #1 SMP Thu Feb 15 21:33:19 PST 2001 i686 unknown

Gnu C 2.95.2
Gnu make 3.79.1
binutils 2.9.5.0.37
util-linux 2.10f
modutils 2.4.1
e2fsprogs 1.19
Linux C Library 2.1.3
ldd: version 1.9.11
Procps 2.0.6
Net-tools 1.54
Kbd 0.99
Sh-utils 2.0

I'm using quota-2.00. Any ideas? Is this a bad message?

Thanks,

I believe -ac family has Jan Kara quota patches and
therefore you need his quota-3 utilites, avaliable from
ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/jack/quota/utils

Yep. This is neccessary because the Linux base tree quota code as well as
being buggy (which can be fixed without tool changes) is 16bit uid so
rather useless in the real world. And fixing that _does_ need the new tools
as well as the kernel patches Jan wrote which are integrated in -ac
