<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div>Over the last few days I have been attempting to set up user quotas on a server used for backing up data. after enabling usrquota in /etc/fstab, I went to install the quota and quotatool packages via apt-get, however I was greeted with nice error message from dpkg while configuring quota:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>Setting up quota (4.00~pre1-6) ...</div><div>Checking quotas...quotacheck: Cannot guess format from filename on /dev/xvdb1. Please specify format on commandline.</div><div>done.</div><div>Turning on quotas...quotaon: cannot find /backups/quota.group on /dev/xvdb1 [/backups]</div>
