Disk quotas won’t enable in sharing (WGM)

[Anonymous]

Hello

I forgot to enable disk quotas on a volume in WGM>Sharing

Now when I try it I get a ‘unable to save settings’ message and it doesn’t stick.
Users have active home directories on the volume in question and I have set the limit in Accounts>Home in WGM but this won’t take until I enable quotas on the volume …

any help much appreciated thanks

quotaon gives the message ‘invlaid argument’. The appropriate files are in place at the root of the volume. I’ve tried this as root through quotaon and WGM>Sharing. I’ve checked the permissions via Get Info and also the sharing options in WGM for the volume in question and it’s sister volume which is the same and has quotas enabled.

Or even ‘:Invalid Argument’

Deleted a flaky quota.users file from the Volume.
Ran quotacheck to re-create the file. Ran quotaon -u /Volumes/thevolumename and now the volume in question has Enable Disk Quotas checked in WGM>Sharing>All

great, thanks alot 🙂

I’ve got a problem with 10.3.9 Server. I’ve moved a whole bunch of homes to another volume. They all were quota’d. I didn’t enable quota when I did the move. Enabling it now gives me a quota of 0 on the new volume and the correct quota on the old volume. I’ve deleted the .quota.users and done a quotacheck and quotaon but I still get the same file. The user records all show the new home location and contain the homequota directive but it isn’t updating the .quota.users file to put this quota on the new volume. How can I force this? I don’t want to redo 200 users by hand with edquota!
