Hi all Mary Christmas

Trying setting up user and group quota with linuxconf /local files systems
on /dev/hda7 /home

here is my original fstab file

/dev/hda1 / reiserfs notail 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-
1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-
1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /var/www reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

After use of linux conf it gave

/dev/hda1 / reiserfs notail 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda7	/home	reiserfs	 
exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota,grpquota,notail 1 2
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-
1,umask=0,exec,codepage=850,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,iocharset=iso8859-
1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /var/www reiserfs notail 1 2
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

But failed to mount /dev/hda7 with quota support.

My script for addstudents is:

#! /bin/bash 

# /sbin/addteacher 
# 
# Create a new teacher account invoke like: 
#     addteacher [name] [password] 

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin 

NAME=$1 
PASSWD=${2:-teacher} 

# Define error message 
usage () 
{ 
    echo " " 
    echo "Usage: addteacher [name] [password]" 
    echo "       If password is not specified" 
    echo "       it defaults to \"teacher\"" 
    echo " " 
} 

# Test for username 
if [ -z "$NAME" ]; then 
    usage 
    exit 1 
fi

# User exists? 
if id $NAME > /dev/null 2>&1; then 
    echo " " 
    echo "User exists!" 
    echo " " 
    exit 1 
fi

# Run the real useradd command 
if useradd -d /home/teachers/$NAME -g teachers -G students \ 
    -p `echo "print crypt('$PASSWD', 'RH');" | perl` \ 
    $NAME; then
    # Adding user to /etc/smbpasswd 
    echo "$PASSWD" > /etc/smbpwd 
    echo "$PASSWD" >> /etc/smbpwd 
    smbpasswd -s -a $NAME < /etc/smbpwd 
    rm -f /etc/smbpwd
    echo " " 
    echo "Success!" 
    echo "Added the user: $NAME" 
    echo "With password:  $PASSWD" 
    echo " " 
    # Set permissons for the home directory 
    chmod -R 2770 /home/teachers/$NAME 
    chown -R `id -u $NAME`.admin /home/teachers/$NAME 
    # Set quotas
    edquota -p quotateacher $NAME
else 
   echo " " 
   echo "Oops, something went wrong!" 
   echo " " 
fi

This workes after linuxconf has been used, but fails on reboot mounted volume 

/dev/hda7 /home

I have placed two file in home directory aquota.user aquota.group

Any ideas on this would be of great help

regards
