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

Maybe you are being bitten by this bug :-?

Bug 781 - xfs_quota doesn’t report success/failure in exit status
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=781

Just check if the quotas are already set.

Thanks for your reply.

I can’t find the aquota.user file In the mounted directory. So the quotas are not set.

Can someone help me?

Maybe you are missing some step (shouldn’t those files be manually created?,
defining a quota use in /etc/fstab…), dunno :-?

Have a look under the docs located
at “/usr/share/doc/packages/xfsprogs/README”

I find the problem that we cannot set usrquota and grpquota via a remount command.But JFS and EXT3 can set.

Another question:
The xfs_quota do not make a file named aquota.user? It’s different from JFS and ext3 too.
