Dear Visitor,
I want to setup usrquota in my debian linux box. I have only two partion. (/dev/hda1 mounted on / ) and ( /dev/hda2 mounted on /save). my users home directory ( /home ) so i cannot updated kernel by editing (/etc/fstab) because my /home directory including (root / ) directory mounted in (/dev/hda1 ). So please send me the sol;ution , so that i can configure usrquota seamlessly in my debian box.

There is a chapter about quota's in the docs on the debian website.
Basically you need to add the usrquota option to /etc/fstab, enable quota at startup and configure the quota's for the users. I use it on my suse sytem, and configure it through webmin, which makes it a lot easier!
