I seem to have a slight problem, i've emerged quota, setup the files quota.user and quota.group in /home/Users.

also i've setup the init scripts and fstab

Fstab:

Code:
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1               /boot           ext3            noauto,noatime          1 2
/dev/hda3               /               reiserfs        noatime                 0 1
/dev/hda2               none            swap            sw                      0 0
/dev/hdb1               /home/Cevo      reiserfs        noatime                 0 1
/dev/hdb2               /home/Users     ext2            noatime,usrquota        0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro               0 0
proc                    /proc           proc            defaults                0 0


permissions:

Code:
drwx--xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun 12 00:05 donkey2
drwx--xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun 12 00:05 hellzone
drwx--xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Jun 12 00:05 jimmy
drwx--xr-x    3 root     root         4096 Jun 12 00:06 lazerathe
drwx------    2 root     root        16384 Jun 11 23:59 lost+found
-rw-------    1 root     root            0 Jun 12 02:52 quota.group
-rw-------    1 root     root            0 Jun 12 02:52 quota.user


errors:

Code:
 * Starting Quota...
Checking quotas. This make take some time.
Cannot get exact used space... Results might be inaccurate.
quotacheck: WARNING - Quotafile /home/Users/quota.user was probably truncated. Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: Scanning /dev/hdb2 [/home/Users] -


at this point the scanning doesn't complete and has caused my system to hang.

any ideas? as i really need a quota based system setup to stop users going over a specified limit. please could you help with the current problem? or suggest an alternative?
