Beware that quotacheck remounts the file system read only, so you don't want to do this when you have any users logged on.

Hello,
OS : RedHat release 4

I have the following situation. At present I have a file system
Which is mounted without quota option and users are using it.
(/etc/fstab content:
/dev/vg00/ftp_data /data xfs defaults 1 2)

I want to implement userquota on this file system. I would like to
know the following:

1. Can I implement quota on this file system?
2. If I can, Can I do the following:

a. unmount /data
b. mount with following command:
/dev/vg00/ftp_data /data xfs defaults,usrquota 1 2

c. quotacheck -avum

d. quotaon -a

d. then I will define the quota with "edquota username /data"

I donot know whether I have missed anything. I cannot make any
test on this production system.

Regards
Kumar
