disk quotas are a constant hassle for me and I don't need them, what is the best way to permanently disable them on an entire server? Does:
quotaoff -av
work and will this keep the quotas disabled even after a reboot?
thanks!

Edit the /etc/fstab and just remove the quotas entries

My /etc/fstab file looks like this:
CODE
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
LABEL=/home2 /home2 ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
so should I just remove that ,usrquota bit?
thanks again.
