Package: quota
Version: 4.06-1.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: invernom...@paranoici.org
Hello!
I enabled the quota feature on the ext4 filesystem for the /home partition:
# umount /home
# tune2fs -O quota /dev/XXXX
# mount -a
# quotaon -va
and then I configured disk quotas.
Everything seems to work, except for the cron.daily job, which should
send e-mail notifications to users in violation of their quotas.
I have edited '/etc/warnquota.conf' and set
run_warnquota="true"
in '/etc/default/quota', but the cron.daily job does nothing, since
it does not find a "quota" string in '/etc/fstab':
$ cat /etc/cron.daily/quota
#! /bin/sh
# check if quota package is available
test -x /usr/sbin/warnquota || exit 0
# check if warnquota run is configured
test -f /etc/default/quota || exit 0
. /etc/default/quota
if [ "$run_warnquota" = "true" ]; then
# check if quotas are enabled
if grep -q '^[^#]*quota' /etc/fstab; then
/usr/sbin/warnquota -ug
fi
fi
exit 0
However, when enabling the "quota" feature with tune2fs, "*quota" options
in '/etc/fstab' are apparently useless.
I added a "quota" option to '/etc/fstab', just to make the cron.daily
job happy, but I think the logic of this cron.daily job should be
changed, so that it does not insist that a "quota" string is found
in a non-comment line of '/etc/fstab' ...
Please fix this bug in the cron.daily job.
Thanks for your time!
