I've just installed RedHat 7.1/XFS1.0 on a Athlon based system and I'm
trying to get quotas working - so far without success.

I've made a XFS file system and mounted it with -o quota and tried to
follow the instructions in the quotaon man page and
/usr/share/doc/xfsprogs/README.quota but get the following:

# rpm -q quota
quota-3.01-SGI_5

# uname -r
2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0

# mount | grep quota
/dev/hda4 on /disk1 type xfs (rw,quota)

# setquota james 600 800 15 20 /disk1
Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

# repquota /disk1
Not all specified mountpoints are using quota.

# edquota james
No filesystems with quota detected.

I've also recompiled the kernel with CONFIG_QUOTA=y and
CONFIG_XFS_QUOTA=y just in case the supplied kernel didn't have quotas
enabled - but with the same results.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Incidentally, the examples in /usr/share/doc/xfsprogs/README.quota and
the quotaon man page don't agree with the actual commands e.g.

in README.quota the syntax to the setquota example is incorrect.

in quotaon(8), the examples talk about a -s option to repquota and a -o
option to quotaoff which don't seem to exist ...

Thanks
