Subject: cannot change current block/inode allocation
Hi all,

I was trying to unable quota s on my ubuntu jaunty system, but i am
getting this error

sudo edquota -u testuser
edquota: WARNING - /dev/sdb5: cannot change current block allocation
edquota: WARNING - /dev/sdb5: cannot change current inode allocation

contents of my /etc/fstab file are as follows:-

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda3 during installation
UUID=985f9223-4d26-40ab-979f-1804a0b65634 / ext3
relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
UUID=7f5a8931-c8f8-4462-9169-5375b55c3868 none swap sw 0 0

/dev/sdb5 /data ext3 relatime,usrquota,grpquota 0 1
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0

these are the steps followed by me :-

sudo apt-get install quota
sudo mount -o remount /data
sudo quotacheck -cugm /data
sudo quotaon -augv

I think your problem may be that edquota is running as testuser, instead
of running as root to edit testuser's quota. Try this:
sudo -- edquota -u testuser
