problems setting up quota on Redhat 7.2

[Paul Bradshaw]

I am having trouble setting up quota on a Redhat 7.2 system. The kernel is kernel-2.4.9-31.  /aquota.user exists. But when I run quotacheck I get:

[root@wintermute root]# quotacheck -avug
quotacheck: WARNING -  Quotafile //aquota.user was probably truncated. Can't save quota settings...
quotacheck: Cannot remount filesystem mounted on / read-only so counted values might not be right.
Please stop all programs writing to filesystem or use -m flag to force checking.
[root@wintermute root]# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1               /                       ext3    exec,dev,suid,rw,usrquota 1 1
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner    0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
/dev/hda2               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  My /etc/fstab follows below, I think it's setup correctly. Thanks,
