Quota System on RedHat 7.1



Dear Linux Group Member,

I have a problem activating the "quota" system on a RedHat 7.1 System.

I recently updated a 6.2 system to 7.1 using the standard system on the 
RedHat 7.1 CDROM.  The computer is a COMPAQ Proliant 3000 Server with two 
CPUs and a SMART Array Controller for the Disks.

1.  The loading system loaded two "kernel"s one for single CPU operation and 
one for the operation of "multiple" CPUs.  The SMP system, the "kernel" for 
multiple CPUs hung while booting complaining about a "cpqarray" program.  
(This is the driver for the SMART Array Controller.)  The single CPU system 
loaded and operated using only one CPU.  The "kernel" on the CDROM which I 
had is Version "2.4.2-2".

2.  I downloaded the "kernel" version "2.4.8" from the network.  I then 
compiled it with the proper configurations which includes to "Processor type 
and features - Symmetric multi-processing support" and "File systems - Quota 
support".  The system loads and seems to work correctly.  At least both CPUs 
are detected and work.

3.  With this new system however the "quota" system does not work correctly.  
(I did the conversion from the file "quota" to "aquota" as using 
"convertquota".)   When I return the system to the supplied "kernel" version 
"2.4.2-2" with only one CPU working the "quota" system work fine.

Has anybody seen this problem with the "quota" system?  Does anybody have any 
suggestions to what the problem is?

This system is used as a student server with many accounts.  To control the 
amount of space allocated to each student we need a working "quota" system.
